My Dad has a 520, he's having a little trouble with the power steering. Most of the time it seems to work fine, but when it is idling slow or when you really need it, the power steering doesn't work, not sure where to begin, I know the fluid level is ok, but what else should we be checking?

Also, does anyone know where or what the chances are of locating a wide front for a 520? I'm not interested in an after market one but an original. I'm assuming that this is not going to be easy or cheap, any suggestions?

Thanks!

Olaf, probably the first thing to check is the pump pressure at hot idle. A worn pump can cause the symptoms you are describing. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check the vane leakage at the return line either. Even a flow control valve adjustment can make a difference..
~I believe service manual SM-2050 [ double check that number before ordering as my memory could be off] will cover the testing procedure & is a good investment if you are going to work on a Deere 2 cylinder power steering system. ~On the wide front axle; the price & availability vary by region & country but a wide front for a 520 shouldn't be hard to find. In the (US) a wide front in good condition for a 520 will run from about $750.00 to $1,200.00 depending on the area & condition. If you do find & buy a wide front, make sure it comes with mount & steering linkage as that stuff is expensive if bought separately & is usually much cheaper if obtained with the axle..... ...
