I have a IH 574 with an intermitent steering problem - not a big deal yet - but it is annoying. Normally steers ok - but when turning steering wheel quickly to one side as when making a sharp turn, momentarily loose power assist on steering, but then it comes backafter a second or so. This is more noticeable when using the loader or operating the PTO. Don"t notice this when making a slower or less sharp turn. Also at times have problems engaging PTO clutch while operating 3 pt hitch.
have replaced HyTran fluid and filter not too long ago. Removed flow divider valve - this was a little sticky, so I polished it up with emery cloth and reinstalled - problem seems a little better but still noticeable. Also visually inspected O ring on power steering relief valve - appears ok - but looks original.
Any ideas on anything else I should check before removing MCV and taking MCV/ pump to dealership ? Could pump seals be leaking ?Thanks for your comments - appreciated. JC - PA
