Looked at a 1961 John Deere 3010 to purchase. Everything looks good except for an issue with the stearing. The owner said that while driving down the road, the stearing ocasionally makes a hard jump to the left. Then quickly recovers. He said that some days it may not do it at all. Any ideas as to the issue?
 

Steering valve under the dash needs attention.

Thank you Jim. Looked up a price on a new pump, looks like around $800. I'm figuring the worst case. Thanks again!
 
I hope to rebuild it myself, but I'm bad in that I always figure
worst case. I also looked into the hesitation for the Hydrolics to
kick in after starting the tractor. Sounds like a main Hydrolic
pump perhaps. Can I have someone rebuild this as well?
Asking price is $4500, and it needs paint and new tires. It's a
1961. Not sure if I'm getting In over my head or not if I make
this purchase. Tractor does have a rebuilt injector pump and
about 3000 hours on rebuilt motor. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated! Thanks again for all of your time Jim!
 
You have an internal leak in the system, most likely in the valve assembly as Tx Jim posted.

As the system leaks you have to continually turn the steering wheel a little bit to keep the tractor going straight ahead. One the steering valve reaches the end of its travel it re-centers itself which causes the wheels to make the sharp turn. If you use the tractor where you are making a lot of sharp turns the steering valve will keep centering itself when ever it reaches the end of its travel and you may not notice it happening.
