Have 2 neglected 300 Utilities with hard steering.
They both have power steering. One has steering so stiff, you can't turn it when the tractor is off.
The other one, I tried tightening up the adjuster screws on the steering box, to hopefully tighten up a lazy steering arm.
One side moves right away, the other not.
Since adjusting, I can turn right, and back to center (tractor running) but turning to the right, its very hard. The pump sounds like your car does when you hold the steering wheel all the way.
Now when I shut the tractor off, I cant turn the steering at all.
I loosened up the 3 adjuster screws on the steering box, but it won't loosen up.
What have I done?
Can someone give me some advice, on getting it to steer freely again.
Until I tried to tighten up the steering, it did turn both ways.
I'd appreciate any simple advice, as the manual I have on the tractor, is vague on how to adjust the steering.
Appreciate any and all ideas and answers.
