I have checked the fluid level and for other leaks. I have been thinking that it is an internal pressure problem. However, I figured that the JD dealer would have checked this before giving up on fixing the problem. The dealer basically told me to come get the tractor and that they have done all they can do for it. At least he also told me I didn�t owe anything on it because he didn�t get it fixed after working on it twice. Thanks again for your help. Tom

I found the hydraulic hose at the base of the steering column to be leaking. After replacing it stopped leaking.

Don't sound like they have much of a mechanic ? I know if it was in my shop I couldn't sleep at night until it was fixed. At least they aren't charging you for their learning experiences.

I had one of those once was leaking out the top of the column under the steering wheel. I tried the quick fix first just the top seal right under the wheel. Well that one really isn't the real seal. I had to pull the whole column out and put one in down below and it fixed it. After all was said and done it really wasn't that bad of job to pull the column and tear it down.

yup, The first seal under the steering wheel was the first thing I replaced. Then found out that it was just a dust seal when it didn't do the trick. I figured that the dealer would be able to fix it and wanted it done quickly as we have been getting more snow and ice here in southeast KS than I can remember. Also have another storm coming in this weekend with up to 8 inches of snow on top of the 3 inches of ice we have on the ground now.
Thanks.

It was a brand new column casting, with all seals etc... The only thing that was not replaced was the steering shaft itself. However, the dealer said it still met all the specs.
thanks.
