ok, i am changeing the hydraulic fluid in my case 970, and have found some broken gears that came out of the drain plugs, is this a huge issue, what should i be looking for, also the power steering works, but feels somewhat slugish, i feel like i should be able to keep turning the wheel with minimal effort and have the front wheel move, instead if i stop turning the wheel for a second and start turning again it turns with ease, thanks in advance

It is a common Delco/GM starter. Any good starter shop should have it. While you are at it, you could have the shop build you a 40 series starter for it, if you are in a cold climate, it will be a big help.

As you probably have figured out, it might be just as smart to refresh the oil and filters and run some good systems checks. If everything operates as it should, RUN IT! No way to know where the trash came from but you might be on a wild goose chase otherwise.
I never like that unknown feeling but it could save you a LOT of time to ignore it unless other signs show up like more chucks or debris in the filter. Also, this might be one of those times where a scope could come in handy! Get in there and look around a bit to see how things look. Won't give you the full story but only other option IMO is a complete tear down and inspect/replace it ALL. Bearings, gears, shafts, bushings, mic it all and figure out what you bought.
I am playing that game as I type...... :D

I�m not the best person for diagnosing a broken piece of gear but it looks like to me that it�s either a piece of spider gear or a gear for the hydraulic pump drive.

Do you know the history of the tractor?

It is possible the tractor had a gear failure at one time in its life and that�s just a piece of left over gear that�s made it to the drain hole.

Power shift? Gears, or springs and steel scraps? If power shift, and if spring parts + steel scraps that come out of the front plugs it would most likely be pieces from a previous torque limiter failure. If gear parts it could be very serious.

also is it possible that the gears are from the hydraulic pump, or are they trans gears

We need a description of the broken parts, or better yet a pic. there are lots o gears in the tranny o a 970. Is it a PS or 8spd. What compartment did the peices come out of. There is a good chanch that your whole hydraulic system is contaminated, and that is causing your steering problems.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea ... [Read Article]
