9600

I absolutely love this tractor except for one issue, the power steering. I have spent a ton of money on the steering and it will dry up for a while and then it always starts to leak again. Just ordered some more new o-rings for the tubes on the steering motor, replaced them all last year plus bought those expensive fittings. I have always used power steering fluid in it until the last couple of weeks, then I went to 10w30 oil to try to slow it down{I was trying to finish first cutting hay} It is raining again this week so I took the side panels off and found the tubes leaking again. I have been concidering getting rid of all the stock crap on it and going to JIC fittings. Does anyone else have this problem or fixed it, what am I doing wrong?

My 9600 does the same thing,I'm contemplating remodeling the whole thing over the winter.

Not that it would make any difference but I use the same hydraulic oil in the power steering that I use in the rest of the tractor

The manual to my 9000 says to use hydraulic oil.

Animal, if you are talking about the compression nuts on the steel
lines I tried a tiny oring slipped on the tube in front of the compression nut. It worked back in the day we used string at the dealership.

Ayup, the only place you don't use 134D is the engine crankcase! Everything else should get the 134D, or a hydraulic oil that meets the 134D spec!
