Thanks Pete, It's a year old problem when I got it. But I spotted you and 2 others on this thread who have some expertise with power steering I haven't dealt with before.
Probably a new pump would fix it but those things are expensive and hard to find. Hate to spend a bunch of bucks and find out it is something else. Mine has the T screw valve you are talking about but wide open doesn't really help the flow. I rebuilt the steering cylinder which helped a little. Where is this relief valve you are talking about that may have a bad oring? Is this on the other end opposite the T screw?
To road it to town to a dealer and get it flow rated is probably out of the question. I can remove a line or two and get it to spit and dribble into a bucket to get an idea of the flow.
There are a couple check balls in the pilot valve that I've had out and found no blockage. They are a burger to get back in. It has some type of spool and check valve to bypass flow to the oil cooler. Maybe I could block off the oil cooler and see what happens. This would assume the excess would bypass in the flow divider. I don't run it enough to need a cooler anyway.

Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
