MF 50 Steering Issues

ElkoMF50 · Nov 26, 2016

I have a 64 MF 50. I have replaced everything on the front end. From the pivot bushing to the bearing in the hubs and everything in between. Now that I'm done and before I put it back on the ground, I noticed it won't turn to the right but turning to the left is a breeze. Fluid levels are good in the reservoir and I let it idle thinking it might have gotten air bubbles in it some how. I did put it down on the ground and drove it around the yard going left was easy but turning right is terrible. When I had it up on the blocks working on it I did turn the steering some to make getting to the different parts easier but the motor was not running. Could I have done something to the pump? Thanks in advance!

I would adjust the turnbuckle that operates the control valve on the power steering cylinder.

The pins and holes at the ends of the turnbuckle need to be a very snug fit also.

Thanks I'll try that. I know it was working good before I tore the front end down to rebuilt it and now very tough steering to the right. I was thinking some kind of value might have gotten stuck somewhere.
