Noticed when I moved it from side to side, fluid would seep down the pedestal housing from above. Any ideas of what the most likely cause is? Thank you [Reply]   [No Email]

Thanks, Hugh   [Reply]  [No Email]

JD sells a seal kit for those units the part number is in the 30 series parts books. I think you will need to order the seal for the actuating sleeve (part where steering shaft goes into)separatly as the 30 series uses an o-ring there too.   [Reply]  [No Email]

My question to add is, where to obtain a good quality rebuild kit for the JD power steering unit? (Mine is on a 70.) Thanks.   [Reply]  [No Email]

They have the orings and gaskets I need. One more question I have before I start tearing apart, Is it possible to do this, just taking the top pedestal off, without dismantling/ dropping the rollomatic?   [Reply]  [No Email]
