Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. A friend of ours has a 80's model 7610 tractor that belonged to her brother. He passed away a couple of years ago and now she has his tractor. She ask me if I could it running so it could be used and I did but it has a pretty bad power steering leak at the left front hydraulic steering shaft. She has no manuals for it. Am pretty good a working on things but know better then tear something down that requires special tools and no how. Is this a easy thing to fix and is it a bad seal or is it a oil ring issue. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve

Steve clean the area up and remove the bolts from the housing. It will slide out the cylinder shaft. There is seal or oring leaking that is inside this housing.
 
Looks like the steering cylinder on a power front axle. Think I found it in the parts catalog for you. If not, you will know where to look.

a pic worth a 1000 words i know old but all major brands most off brand have parts books on line i use case ih case for construction ford new holland new holland ago jd kubota i even found one for kotieto tractors.. some time thy can be a challenge to ues but are well worth it to lean how to use them
 

Thanks JD Seller. That's what I was thinking but was wanting to make sure before I pulled it apart. looks like I just loosen the collar on the end of the shaft and then slide the housing off so I can slide a new oil ring or seal back on the shaft. Thank you.
 
Thanks Bob and ben. The parts break down helps a lot. I would think its the seal that's need replacing. Part 22 in the diagram.
 
LH shaft wiper and seal look to be Key #s 14 and 15.

Key # 22 seals the RH "gland" to the housing.
 
When you say that three times fast, it sounds real simple.

Word to the wise.... remove the bolts in the gland first, then start the engine and steer hard against the left lock. That should pop the
flange out if it's not stuck too tight and the pump isn't buggered already. Once that's done, then you can center the wheels again and remove
the inner ball joint from the cylinder rod.
This may be an easy job but I wouldn't bet on it....

Thanks RodInNS and everyone for taking time to help. Our friends will be down in a couple of weeks and am going to get with her husband and see what we can do with it. All the replies really helped a bunch. Take care, Steve
 
Hi Guys, I'm a bit rusty with tractor maintainence, haven't had a tractor for some 15 years, but recently purchased a leaky 7610, the biggest leak being this ram and have oil leaking from both sides, enough to empty the reservoir within a couple days. So due to lockdown, I'm thinking of trying this myself, - if I can get the parts, do I need any special tools? And anyone who has done this, did they need anything more than seals? Thanks in advance for any help.

Darrell, I have never replaced one of those seals, but from what Bob posted it appears that you have no worries. YT has two views classic and Modern. Roughly half of the members view and post on each one. On modern view a new post brings a thread back to the top, while on classic it stays way deep where no one will see it. You will get more views if you start your own new thread.
