Power steering woes

I installed power steering setup from my 65 FSM onto my 61 FSM. The only thing it does is extend the hydraulic cylinder to its maximum and will not allow me to turn in the direction to retract the cylinder to its minimum length. Does anyone think that there is a problem inside the pump like some check ball that won't uncheck?

Thank you
 
That was my first thought, I double checked Serv manual, all good.

Disassembled pump, found a small PC of metal...maybe 2 mm x 3 mm x .5 mm thick inside of inner spring

Probly part of dipstick, which is in 2 PC's.

Any way pump works

I'm taking apart the cylinder now, to test spool action

Thanks for the comeback!
 
After some disassembly and inspection I found that the operating sleeve was corroded so bad that I could not, up till now, remove the back side ball cup. After the ball cup gets corroded in place it cannot allow the valve spool to move. No way the hydraulic fluid could change direction without the operating sleeve being free to move back and forth.
I guess that's why there are a couple of grease zerks near the manual ball stud.

I visited agriline and found what I think is a good solution. This steering kit should do the trick as long as I can mount the pump without getting in the way of the loader bracing, and find a clear path for the drag link.
