I have an oil leak from the top of the PS housing where the steering rod enters. My part's book shows O rings not oil seals at the upper and lower end of the housing. How difficult a job is it to change these? Also, the steering shaft will move in and out about half an inch or so when you pull on the steering wheel. Is this normal?
Thanks in anticipation.
Lyn.

Lyn, it's a pretty good job to renew those steering "O" rings, especially the lower one. For the top one around the actuating sleeve valve, the hood has to come off, a lot of wires, lines & linkage have to come loose & the whole wormshaft housing has to be removed, then be disassembled & re-set back up. The lower one requires disassembling the power steering quill assembly [a big job].
~On that steering shaft moving in & out 1/2"... it could just be wear at the roll pin to steering shaft & no big deal or could be the whole actuating sleeve moving due to wear or being out of adjustment, [more than likely a little of both]. ~If you intend to go into that steering system I strongly recommend getting a repair manual before starting as there are a lot of little adjustments & disassembly hints that are a must if you want that system to function correctly again..... ..

Thanks for your reply Clooney. As I have the tractor dissassembled to replace the rings and big end shells, I think now is the time to tackle this oil leak. I do have an I&T manual, and JD's own workshop manual for this tractor, but not a power steering manual. I will have to see if I can get one sent from the States. I suppose any O rings of the correct size will be OK.
Thanks, and I will let you know how I get on.
