SLLLOOOOOWly resurrecting a 1955 860. I have it to the point I can start and move it under power.It came equipped with a loader and power steering. The original steering pump was bad so I adapted a more modern auto pump in its place. The steering is still very stiff even with the loader removed. I will probably attempt to rebuild the original pump in case there is an output pressure difference. A few questions
1: is there a replacement available for the hold down for the filter inside the reservoir?
2: It appears to be the Eaton pump but I find no markings to prove this. Will I be safe in purchasing the Eaton style seal, o-ring kit?
3: Is there something else I need to check on the steering system that prevents the power assist working? I plan to crack lines to confirm fluid flow and I have jacked the front up and confirmed that the there is full lock to lock movement.
Thanks for any advice in moving the correct troubleshooting!
