The power steering on my MF 2135 started to squealing when turning the wheel. There seems that there is not any power applied. The reservoir is full and clean fluid.
Any help will be appreciated .
 
Welcome Gayle!

Power steering can be tricky to diagnose. Here are a few things you can try.

You say the steering has no power assist. When you turn the wheel, can you hear the engine RPM change? Does the pump load?

You can get a better feel for what's happening if you lift the front wheels off the ground.

Can the steering be easily turned with the wheels up? Anything binding? Is there any difference in the sound or turning force needed with the wheels up?

The squealing, is it coming from the pump or the steering gear?

With this information, we can get a little closer to the problem. But to truly diagnose the problem, a pressure gauge with some fittings, and a shop manual with the proper procedure and pressure specs will be necessary.

I will check tomorrow and post what I find. What is the pressure. I may have a gauge to use
Thanks for the help.

Sorry I am taking so long .
I raised the wheels and turning from lock to lock several times the squealing stopped. I lowered the wheels and could not turn the wheels. I tried to turn the steering wheel while moving forward. I could hardly turn the steering wheel. still no squealing. Could it be a problem in the porting value?
Again thank you,
Gayle

Are you going to be able to help me? If you are busy I understand. Please let me know if I am posting in the wrong place.
Thank you

You aren't in a wrong place, but the Massey forum may have more people with that age of pump. I drive in figure 8's a few time to get bubbles out, but now yours is bound up huh?
 
I can't turn the wheel even when moving forward. It turns when the wheels are off the ground. How can I check the pump and the porting valve. What should the pressure be.
Thank you
Gayle
