LONG 445 POWER STEERING

I bought a long 445. It runs great. The problem is the power steering valve.
When I turn the wheel just a bit the steering turns all the way unless I turn
it back the other way to stop it. I was told I might have to get it rebuilt.
Does anyone have any info on where to get on or have one rebuilt. Thanks

That doesn't even look close to being the original valve,thats been added on in place of the original power steering set up.Originally it had a cylinder and some other parts that went from the steering arm to the arm on the front end.Rebuilding that valve won't solve anything actually that valve is working like its supposed to probably was meant for something like a woodsplitter.You really need to get a parts book.You can either find the original equipment or make up a linkage and turn it into manual steering.I'm converting
a 460 to manual steering now.
 
You should be able to find one as there are a lot of the Fiat built tractors around
Oliver 1265,AC 5040,5050 should be the same along with several of the Long Models.I have a Long 550 parts tractor that has a cylinder on it I'd have to check to see if its the same as the 3 cylinders as the 550 is a 4 cylinder.
 
Could one of you guys look at ebay item# 381206326051 and see if this is the right valve. I been going thru an ugly unfair divorce for 2 years now and I cant afford to buy a parts catalog and the steering valve. Thanks everyone
 
Thats not what you need,what you need is the whole power steering cylinder assembly.To get your tractor running and useable cheap you can do what I'm doing to a 460.I bought two tie rod ends off ebay for around $30 each and found a piece of heavy pipe to slide over the ends of of the tie rods which I fitted to the steering arms.It works fine just don't have power steering any more.I also took off the power steering pump and made a plate to go over it.
