This is a post from another forum. This guy urgently needs help, so I thought I"d try it here.
"Ford 801 all-purpose is hard steering like the power assist isn"t working. Long story short, it already has a new pump on it and the left hand cylinder has been replaced by an aftermarket part that is rebuildable (unlike the originals). If either cylinder is disconnected hydraulically and mechanically, and the control valve ports are plugged for that cylinder, it steers just fine. In other words, it steers fine on either cylinder by itself. Reconnect the hydraulic lines (leave rod disconnected from drag link so cylinder isn"t doing any work) and steering effort increases somewhat. With both cylinders connected it"s almost like manual steering.
I"ve removed the control valve and given it a thorough cleaning and inspection but don"t see one single thing unusual. Everything works smoothly with no broken or damaged parts.
Anyone have any ideas? I"m really stumped and the owner really needs his tractor. Any input is greatly appreciated!!"
