Question for those of you with 2 cylinder power steering experience:I have my 60 radiator assembly out of the tractor that allows me free access to the steering valve actuating sleeve and oil seal housing. It appears that I can unbolt the oil seal housing and simply slide it off the actuating sleeve without disturbing the rest of the power steering mechanism or valve housing and leave all of that still bolted to the pedistal. I noticed that the oil sleeve housing is a little wet with oil and I would like to simply replace this oil seal PN AF1934 and the gasket PN 21062 between the oil seal housing and the steering worm housing without disturbing the rest of the power steering system and all the taboos that go with it. Would I be safe with this simple repair, or would I be upsetting the apple cart with the power steering system as a whole? I really dont want to get into the power steering system as it has been working just fine other than this dampness of oil around the housing. I think the seal is just wearing out. Your opinions please!! PS service manual calls out for removing all of this along with the valve housing then performing an end play check. I dont want to get into all that right now.
