Mf50a power steering issue

The power steering works fine for an hour
maybe more and then it gets hard to steer
and the pump startes whining. If I shut
the engine off for just a few seconds and
restart it goes away for a few minutes
then it starts acting up again. It has
plenty of fluid. I'm going to get a new
filter and see if that might fix the
problem. Has anyone else had this issue if
so what was the cause?
 
The filter/screen appears to have been the problem. It was clogged up and after cleaning it the power steering works better than it ever has for me. Should have checked it when I fist got the tractor.
 
That is a common problem when they put a filter inside a component instead of on the outside. If no one sees a filter they figure it doesn't have one.
