I saw some responses to the guy having trouble with his on a model 50, Mine works good, but pulls to the right all the time, worse in colder weather and works better with the engine revved a tad, I have slid the housing on the pedastal, but this made it really touchy, is there anything else I can try or is this the way it is? thanks guys.

Mike, you should be able to move the steering valve until you get a symmetrical steering. Do the adjustment hot & at fast idle with the front wheels on good traction. Don't just move the valve until it stays centered but move it until it takes the exact same turning force to turn the steering wheel in both directions from centered. [I usually use a 1500 lb pressure gage in the steering valve test port & center the valve until the pressure is the same in both directions]
~You might want to check & center the bolster [the whole front steering assembly] if the steering shaft [the one from the steering wheel] is bending when turning the shaft due to entering the worm sleeve at an angle. It doesn't take much binding at the worm sleeve to steering shaft to make the steering act funny.
~It might not hurt to pull the steering valve to make sure the fork isn't coming loose from the steering sliding valve [I have seen a few of those come loose over the years & that is something you will remember for a long time, an instant turn]

I was at an good sized JD estate auction in the York, Pa. area a few years ago. The owner had been killed going down a road when his power steering "50" made a sudden sharp right turn on its own. Tractor went into the ditch, rolled over and crushed him instantly.

Neither my 420, 50 nor 70D have power steering and after that I am in no hurry to add it.
