Add oil to the power steering pump. problem solved

On some Ford backhoes, the pump is mounted on the engine, and a gasket at the mounting can fail, letting the hyd oil into the engine crankcase- check the engine dipstick for overfill.

THANKS JMS
The engine dipstick is overfilled. Also I had to rev the engine to get the steering to work before it went out altogether. I also noticed that the king pins at the bottom are loose. Where do i go from here?
Thanks again Jim
