My dad's 806 power steering acts up in the winter. In the past it seems to be due to moisture in the system and iced up filter (common from what I've read here). Operates fine in the summer batwinging, etc. Usually the issues will "go away" once the tractor is warmed up and the steering cycled for a while.
Putting out hay the other day it started acting up again and the transmission would cut in & out too, which is new. From what I can read it sounds like the first step is overfilling by 5 gallons after I replace the filter again and drain any water out of the bottom. If that doesn't work we'll dive into the pump.
Am I approaching this in the correct order?
Tractor has a front end loader and to be honest, it was dark when I was messing with it and could not really tell the hydraulic level. I'll check that first while it's cold.
Thanks,
