Looking for the steering cylinder for my 240, it is the one that is between the steering wheel and the linkage to the gear. Mine is jerky and sometimes very hard to move. I have just finished reinstalling the worm gear. There was some wear on the worm gear, as it only uses 25% of the gear, I indexed the steering arm 1/4 turn and drilled & tapped the arm for a 1/2-13 dog point screw the lines up with the gear shaft Woodruff keyway.
As that was not the problem, it must be the cylinder.
Somebody welded the hyd fittings to the cylinder body & I am looking for a decent used assy before disassembling mine as I suspect some damage inside. Also I cannot replace the existing hoses!
Have not been able locate one in the used tractor yards, I know used ones go for $375 to $400....I am OK with that plus shipping.
