Rebuilding a leaking hydraulic steering box on the 1135. I rebuilt the failed pistons, rings and cylinders, so steering is now restored.
There is still a leak, must be the vertical steering shaft seal and/or bearing. There is fluid flow in and out of the box, so the lower seal is the culprit. I haven't checked to see if the outlet back to the hyd reservoir is blocked, as that could force oil out...probably seal is just plain ol' shot.
MF has discontinued part # 833233M1, the lower roller bearing. No bearing house, so far, can cross it over to a standard bearing, as they often can (the top bearing is a SCE3228 at half the price).
So I'm sure the last of these bearings on Earth has been used, so any hints on how to find one? Even the Parts guys on YT can't find it....
