I am having problems with my Ford 801 All-Purpose tractor, 61 or 63?

The steering box leaks oil out of air vent. I installed a new steering pump and the hydraulic oil, when I turn either right or left the oil comes out of the steering gearbox vent. It is supposed to relieve pressure and the oil is coming out of it. I need advice on how to fix it. Is the problem in the power steering box unit itself? Or Do I need an entire new steering box or need rebuilt?

Quick question, was the Ford 801 model 1963 or 1961? My manual says 1963, but I can't find 801 information on the 1963, I only find 1961. thanks in advance!

Your steering fluid pukes because you did not get the air out after refilling. I have one of these and it took a while before I caught on. One way is, as you VERY SLOWLY fill the reservoir, with motor running, repeatedly turn the wheel from lock to lock. Otherwise find a place in the system to let the air escape. Once the air is purged, just top it off and it will stop throwing up.
