I'll try to make myself a little clearer so be patient with me. I have a 1967 I.H. (706)
I'm having trouble with the power steering. I First noticed it last week the steering was getting a little jerky. It's been sitting for a week and when I started to use it yesterday you could turn the steering wheel
however the tires wouldn't turn, I jacked the front end up and was able to turn the wheels by hand it seems like it's low on power steering fluid. Does this year tractor have it's own power steering pump and where is it located. Ken at Elsberry Mo.

Been close to 30 years since I had one of those lemons,but as I recall,the power steering ran off the main hydraulic pump. It's been cold down there too hasn't it? Maybe some moisture froze up in the hydramotor or main filter.Otherwise,the hydramotor or steering unit could be going bad. I'm just drawing a blank on those. If they're like the Oliver,there's a priority valve that sends the oil to the steering first. Could be something sticking that.

That same pump runs the brakes and the T/A also.

Does it make a "singing" sound while all this is going on?

"Usually", and 'almost always' in cold weather, that jerky power steering signals the need for a hydraulic fluid and filter change.

For darned sure a filter change. Pay particular attention to the by-pass screen too (that is the guy that is singing).

The power steering "gets first grab" at the oil. It has the priority and the symptoms show up there first.

Not to say it isn't a pump problem, however, if the pump were getting weak, it would stand to reason that the brakes and T/A would fail first because they are at the tail-end of the food chain.
