I'm restoring a 1010. (To tell you what kind of genius you're dealing with here.) The 3-point hitch has never worked, but it's also never had any fluid. It actually looks good (I took the rockshaft assembly off), and the pump turns well in my hand. I already replaced a seriously degraded line; and I fixed the crack in the axle case that leaked oil.
This pump (under the steering wheel) has power steering ports, but the tractor is manual steering. The ports are just sitting there, open (and full of dirt).
I gather that this is an open-center system. I'm guessing the power steering ports have a bypass pressure valve that's set pretty low. If so, then maybe it doesn't matter whether I deadhead these ports or plumb them together?
Can anyone straighten me out here? (Just the pump question -- restoring a 1010 is already a lost cause).
Thanks!
