1466 hard to steer

We have a 1466 that is hard to steer. I can change the filter, top the hydraulic oil off and it will steer fine for a few days then you nearly have to start lifting weights just to turn it. But the filter doesn't look that bad when I replace it, i.e. no trash or debris in the filter. The cylinder works fine, as does the 3pt hitch... it's just the steering. Any ideas or suggestions as to how to fix this before I start pulling pumps off and rebuilding?
 
Tony sound like you may have a problem with you MCV pump. Your best bet is to find a local mechanic who is knowledgeable of the 06/56/66 series systems and has the test equipment to pressure test it. Be way cheaper to trouble shoot it first before you start throwing parts at it. You should post this question on the YT International page.

As Rick says,you probably have a bad MCV (power steering) pump.Find someone to test it.But try this...Dump an additional 5 gal oil overful.The pickup for the MCV is higher than the oil level.There is an oring that can suck air.5 gal over 'submerges' that oring.
 
YEp test first and fix what is needed , could be that you are plugging the filter with moisture . If the oil is milky then this could be thew problem . Next on the list ya may have a problem in the MCV valve it's self or it could be the pump is heading south . But usually when the pump is going to lunch when you change hyd. filter you have a hard time picking up prime .
