Hi gang, I've looked thru all the archives regarding steering problems, and come away more confused than when I started.I have a 202 loader, with power (assisted?) steering. The pump was replaced a few years ago, and the seal at the top of the steering column. The problem is the steering works fine turning right, but it became increasingly difficult to turn left (after center). Finally, after the tractor sat for a few months unused, it will no longer turn left at all, even with the front wheels lifted off the ground, and all my strength on the wheel. It feels more "mechanical" than hydraulic...it seems the wheel almost comes up "hard" on center. This tractor has dual pistons (cylinders) mounted on the front axle, and dual steering arms (Pittman arms?) coming from the gearbox above the shifter. I do not have a manual, but will buy one if I knew what to get...seems a selection of them out there. All I know is it's a 202 loader. I was told 1956, but the serial numbers here indicate it's more like a 1959-62. Any help, even in choosing a shop manual, is greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time and attention. MK
