Best way to flush power steering system

I have a MF202 with the Z134 Continental four cylinder gas engine. What is the best way to flush the power steering system?

I'd take the return line off, stick it in a bucket, fire up the tractor, and use a squeeze bottle to keep the reservoir full while a helper turns the wheels lock to lock at low idle. When you see nice clean fluid come out, I'd say you're probably good to go.

Thank you, that's so simple. Why didn't I think of that. I guess I was thinking there had to be a more complicated way. :wink:

No problem! I'm often guilty of over-complicating simple tasks as well!
