I recently purchased a 1983 5610 MWFD Cab tractor with front loader. It had a busted steering housing which I was able to finally locate a replacement and also replaced the power steering pump while we were at it. Problem is that the steering seems to make alot of fluid / pressure noise and is slow and weak to respond. At a standstill its very hard to turn the wheel and in 4x4 mode you can't turn it period when not moving. Can someone share with me how well power steering should work on this tractor being it has MWFD, cab and front loader? I have some 3910's, 4600, 2810 etc and all of them have what I consider to be great power steering. If it sounds like the system is not functioning properly then what items could be the cause?
