Ford 801 power steering pump problem

Posted by Mark Wambach on June 03, 2004 at 13:47:09 from (24.213.214.42):

Hi. I have a Ford 861 diesel with loader, 801 family. The tractor is new to me (purchased used). The reservoir for the pump spits fluid until the level is down too low to feed the PS. When I open it to put in more fluid, there is some froth there. Any suggestions?

Also, it looks there was perhaps ATF (red) in the system. I'm thinking of bleeding it and putting in the same hydraulic fluid I'm using for the loader (is that ok?).

I did find that one of the line fittings for the right steering unit was stripped and may have been leaking. I'm replacing that line. I also have a new filter for it.

Thanks in advance.
Mark
