What condition are the stub axles and steering
joints also tyre pressure ?
How often is grease applied??
The reason I am asking is that I had a power major
From 1978 until 2000 and I greased the steering
Regularly and the steering was always ok

My Major, Henrietta, is a 1952 petrol/kerosene and I worked on Majors for many years. I have never found the need for power or power assisted steering on any of them except when you have a loader fitted. I can steer mine with one hand and I am not that strong. Grease and tyre pressure has a lot to do with ease of steering although I do agree that PAS helps to avoid "kickback" on rough ground.

Yes I take your point started this job the long way round replaced front stub axles new bronze bearings and have realised probably didn't need power steering but it does have a all loader has become a bit of a big job but have got round it
