farmall LP 400--questions

Posted by chris on January 28, 2002 at 23:40:12 from (63.151.184.120):

I just got a "project" tractor, farmall LP 400
from the early 50's, and I know nothing about
them except that they are excellent tractors, so
I have several questions for all you farmall
wizards out there:
The power steering booster pump isnt
working right, so I took it off. It only turns one
way, and you need to be Hercules to steer it
even then.
Then I tested the hydraulic pressure, and it
only put out 1100psi. So I think the hyd. pump
is shot--my question is this: could it be that the
steering pump isn't working because of the
weak hyd. pump, or are they both shot?
The steering pump may have a valve stuck,
but I don't know where to find it.
I looked for adjustment screws on the steering
pump, but there were none.
The tractor also needs a new wide front
end---anybody know where I can get a good
Schwartz wide front, and what is a fair price for
one?\
Also what kind of manual should I get in order
to really work on it?
Thanks!
