Special Thanks to ptfarmer & Jim.ME

(quoted from post at 16:48:16 06/27/20) I would just like to thank Jim.ME & ptfarmer for their great help.

These two guys have gone above and beyond in providing information that has greatly helped me. It is great to see that there are still people out there willing to help a stranger (that had some really dumb questions).

Again wishing you both all the best.

You are welcome, glad to help. Does this mean you have steering now?

(quoted from post at 08:17:39 06/29/20) I posted a response earlier to your later posts with a pic of the AGCO parts book. It does list the 220 backhoe. Search "220", filter by "Massey Ferguson", the 220 will show up. Good Luck!

:lol: I wish. I have no idea what is happening.

There seems to be an issue in either the lines or the steering valve. If I turn the steering wheel towards the right neither cylinder does anything.

I even reversed the lines going into the right hand cylinder, no difference.

When I turn the steering wheel towards the left both the cylinders work. Reversing the lines on the right hand cylinder it will just do the opposite i.e extend or retract.

No matter what I do, turning the steering towards the right does nothing to either cylinder, logic tells me that it should activate the right hand cylinder either extending or retracting depending on the setup.

It leads me to think that the steering valve has a fault, as it activates both the left & right steering cylinders when turning the steering wheel left.

Also regarding AGCO parts, as you suggest the site is locked to U.S. Easily bypassed when using a VPN, so had a quick look for the MF220 backhoe, couldn't find anything so will have a better look today.

Regards

Both cylinders should move when you turn the steering wheel, just in opposite directions. If neither moves when you turn the wheel for a right turn it does sound like a valve problem or the hose between the valve and tee where the line splits to go to the cylinders is blocked. I have seen hoses fail internally and stop flow but not leak. You could unhook the hoses from the cylinders. Then try turning it and see if you get oil alternating between the hoses on each side when you turn the wheel both directions.
