Hello All
I own a 57 Ford 801 with factory power steering. I have developed a sizable leak of power steering fluid that is coming out of my vent/filler plug for my steering housing AND out of the top of my steering column. Looking at my FO20 manual it looks like my problem might possibly be the oil seals ( on the steering shaft) above and below the control valve. The steering works well...until the fluid all dumps. Can someone tell me if I am on the right track and if so, how difficult it is to remove those seals. All parts appear to be available at Ford/New Holland.
Thanks so much
Paul
