Since it's a narrow front, take out the spindle and check the bearing in the bottom- likely to find it is 'scalloped' from constant pounding. If steering is worse on hard surfaced roads than gravel or in the field, it is likely the problem. Should not be a cylinder problem.

steering is better in field, but both front wheels shake on pavement also steering wheel turns almost one turn before making wheels move.

KISS formula- Do the bearings in the spindle first- if that does not work- and you have eliminated loose/worn u-joints in the steering column- then go into the steering sector. Leave the internal hydraulics until last. Could be internal wear there, but do the easy stuff first. If you're a youg'un, and don't know what KISS means- it's Keep It Simple, Stupid- but don't take 'Stupid' personally. Just means to do things in a simple, logical order, leave the complicated things to the end of the list! Sort of like when people say their gas tractor runs rough, so they want to buy a new carb, when it only needs a cleaning or a rebuild kit, or the diesel misfires, so they think they need a new pump, when there are so many other things to check first.

I have a wide front end with power steering leaking out the spindle area that some one has welded solid. Is this an easy fix? and how far should I tear it down. it works good when you add oil. but looks like the spindle should be my first priority? and I like the KISS program makes sense

This sounds scary when you talk about someone welding solid. Bottom line is - factory did not do that. Spindle has two definitions- outside of a wide front axle, the other is on a narrow front tractor- that is the thing that has the front wheels mounted on. If you are talking about an oil leak that is dripping off the front ..... ..Welding likely heated a seal and it is leaking. If you can post a picture, do that to put your post farther up on the board, otherwise, just repost the message and you should get a good response. KISS? I've seen so many people rip major things apart without knowing what they are doing, buy major parts, when it is a simple fix. Tractor doesn't run right? Buy a new carb or injector pump. Hire someone to do it. Or KISS it- works on wives, girlfriends, tractors-in any order!!!!! !!!!
