4600 power steering issue

Missoura · Jun 20, 2014

Have a 76' 4600
power steering got stiff, so I took it down and discoverd a broken plunger spring in the control valve.
Ordered and Replaced.
Now the tractor will turn to the left with one finger, will turn right only with considerable effort.
Could I have gotten the "special horned" plungers switched? Would this cause the valve to fail to releive?
Am I over looking something simple? Any direction would be greatly apprecieated.

I'm gonna assume this is an SU tractor with the double drop arm steering? If so, how did you tighten the preload nut? Bottom out, back off one flat and stake as I recall.

I tightned it down and staked it, i did not back it off any, would that cause it to not turn one way?

Took tractor down, and bottomed out nut an backed off one flat as directed, still no dice.
