Hello Gentlemen,
I have seen this topic in other older threads here. I have just acquired a 196? Case 310 Utility backhoe. I am having the same issues described in other threads. I have the single piston bendix-style steering system. The steering is very stiff to the right, and somewhat stiff to to left. With a load in the bucket, it is damn near impossible to steer either direction. The pump appears to be working properly, lines are good, cylinder is tight. The actuator has been rebuilt with new seals and bushings. Everything is assembled correctly, according to the Case exploded diagram, I have verified. I can not see any leaks from the system. The ball link control is moving the valve in both directions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I can take any pictures or videos anyone wants to see of this issue.
Other than a couple leaky cylinders here and there this machine is in great shape. Motor was just rebuilt, and a bunch of hoses replaced.
Thanks,
Matt
