826 Hydro steering problem

Posted by David Riedel on October 14, 2005 at 17:51:37 from (4.224.186.234):

Initially, my steering problems (85% lockup of steering) were resolved by restarting several times when warm. Eventually, that didn't work any more. Cleaned and checked the flow divider for smooth operation (MCV still on tractor). No change. 6 months go by with sporadic episodes of normal steering. I've dissassmbled the hand pump and it looked great. I've removed the MCV and checked the pressure relief and orifice and reinstalled it. It steered perfectly for the next six start-ups. Went back to locking up. I removed the steering control valve, checked it well but was afraid to mess too much with both check valves. I had mild luck (improvement)by bleeding the system, opening the bleeder on the control valve, and manually cycling the steering cylider buy pushing the tires left to right, right to left. If I turned the wheel at anytime during the process, air would be sucked into the bleeder and everything would lock up again. I'm at wits end and have been battling with this for over a year. Please help me. Ask very specific questions too, I've been through practically every tiny part in the system. Help! Dave
