The o-rings are the high-pressure type from Case. When put back together, filled with power steering fluid & turned lock to lock a half dozen times, I had no power steering. As the Eaton style belt driven pump was original, I fingered it as the culprit, so it was replaced with a new gear driven pump from All States Ag Parts and two new hoses, still no P/S. I took the relief valve in the valve body apart, which was clean & no scoring on the ball, back together, still no P/S. The valve body/cylinder is very clean & has all parts in the proper sequence as per my 1960 Case 310B Service & Parts Manuals. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Maybe I should paint it; at least it would look nice! [Reply]  [No Email]

It is gradually getting better on it's own. What I've been reading is to put the tractor on blocks and turn the steering all the way left and right several times with the engine running to work air out of the system. I hate to screw up the paint to do this though. [Reply]  [No Email]
