My FIL's 2630 has developed an issue with the power steering. When changing directions the steering will lock up/act jumpy. If you let it sit there for 10-15 sec it will steer fine in that direction but when you switch directions again it will lock up/buck the steering wheel. How fast you turn the steering wheel doesn't really seem to affect it, it acts pretty much the same whether you turn it slow or fast. After running for a while it seems to get a little better but not a whole lot. This tractor gets regular fluid changes every spring before planting begins, the lower screen is cleaned at this time also. Next time I'm over there I'll check the oil level. From what I've read it sounds like there might be an internal leak somewhere.
I grew up working on the two cylinders, much simpler machines! What are the troubleshooting steps to go through for this problem?
