I recently purchased a 300U. It"s been working great, but it is starting to leak oil (only when it runs). I noticed it just the other day when it was sitting there ideling. It"s leaking up by the oil pan where the support arms for the front axel come together. There is a pivot ball weilded on to the support arms and it"s leaking on the front side of the support arms by the oil pan but I can"t tell for sure where. Could this be a bad gasket/seal or did I puncture it some how? Also there is a bracket that has two threaded holes in it and it is loose flopping around. One of the threaded bolts is still attached but the other is missing. How should that be attached on the pivot ball? Any suggestions are Welcome. Also, it steeres like an army tank. I about break my arms trying to use it on my acerage with or without a load. Any suggestions? Thanks

Can you get us some pictures. If nothing else send them to my e-mail.
I have both 300Us and 350Us. I can try and take a look for you.
I had to replace that small ball pivoit on a 300 awhile back. It gets worn. Case/IH still has them in stock.
Check the front end alignment and pump up the ties to 30PSI. And like OLD said, make sure shes lubed right. I normally don't even try to turn the wheel on my non-PS 300U unless it's moving. Getting old and weak I suppose.

Can't help much if any but the hard steering is common with the 300U. Check the steering gear box and make sure it has the right level of oil in it, that helps a little but it will still steer hard thats just the nature of the beast
