5000 power steering

1968 5000 diesel, has a "catch" in the power steering when turning to the right. Not always in the same place (I think), but gets stuck for a 1-5 seconds then releases. It has gradually gotten better over time through no action of my own, but persists. Workable but annoying.

Any ideas how to fix?
 
Most likely the linkage for the control valve in the end of the cylinder under the nose of the tractor. It is likely worn. If it isn't worn too bad it could be remedied for a while with an adjustment, If it is worn too much then the worn parts would need to be replaced or possibly repaired by building back up with weld and grinding or drilling back to original.
 
My other models but similar type Fords, I have run into problems with the mechanical stuff not working right.

One the bearings in the bottom of the axle tubes ground away, and the other the previous owner never greased the vertical tubes and they rusted up terrible. Both
seemed like the power steering was locking up, but it was actually catching on something mechanical and the power steering just couldnt move it.
