Dash is black, but couldn't say if someone didn't repaint it at some point. SN is 6217XXX. Based on the manual and parts that are there it appears to be the "improved" design.Is your 620 a black dash late model?

I was able to work with this a little yesterday and I can get it to spring back to center now. I made sure the bushing started on internal threads first and I could almost turn it in all the way before it would not spring back. While turning it, what I am seeing is the collar on the actuating sleeve that the power steering valve engages on only appears to move to the rear, it never really moves to the front while turning it either direction. Do I have a cam/pin or spring issue?In the front of the worm gear there is a bushing that has an internal and external thread on it. There is a locking plug inside of it that is loosened with an Allen wrench to adjust the bushing. With the bushing removed pull the internal threaded piece forward. Start the bushing into the worm gear, but make sure the internal threads start before the external threads do. With the worm housing on the tractor and backlash set put a tapered punch in the roll pin hole at the rear of the sleeve. Using the punch begin to rotate the sleeve against the spring. When it stops moving let go of the punch and it should spring back to neutral by itself. Tighten the bushing in the front slowly till the punch won't spring back to neutral then loosen it just enough so it springs back to neutral from both directions of travel. Lock the bushing with the Allen plug. That should let the operating valve return to neutral so the system doesn't labor and over heat.
Read the front section of your power steering manual a few times and I think you will under stand how it works.I haven't gotten back to this project yet, still sitting on the bench, guess I am hoping it will fix itself. Ended up working on some other projects I had put on hold for this one. I will inspect the pins again for flat spots, but I thought they looked pretty good.
As far as the sleeve sliding easier, it seems to slide easier when it goes back versus forward.
I will pull it apart again, reinspect everything, do another quick test watching the sleeve slide and then bolt the steering valve back up, put oil back into it and try it again. If that doesn't work not sure where to go with it after that. I had really wanted to get this tractor back going a couple weeks ago to haul manure with it, but now I am just hoping it is functional again to put on the rake for haying season.
You are going to need another Worm as yours is shot.I have made progress today, will outline all I did in later post. Only issue we are having now is when you turn it all the way left it will catch and not want to come back. Stop moving and slowly work it back right and it is fine. That or back up and turn it right. Fight it and you get no where. To the right no issues. It does apeear to turn sharper to left.
What makes you say it is worm gear?You are going to need another Worm as yours is shot.
There are no new ones so you will need to find a good used one. ie: salvage
I'll say it again, you need to take a look at the "vane motor".I have made progress today, will outline all I did in later post.

I work on the worm assembly and valves for customers and find that a helix broken like this one will jam.What makes you say it is worm gear?
When you say damaged helix, is this what your talking about? Can I build it up and smooth it out?I work on the worm assembly and valves for customers and find that a helix broken like this one will jam.
It is a dangerous situation.
What parts do I need to get on order for this job? Not looking forwatd to pulling that all out.I'll say it again, you need to take a look at the "vane motor".
At the worst, you'll be out a couple of o-rings and some oil and time, if all is well down there. Should put new seals on the vanes, as well.
If the bolts holding the moveable vane are loose or broken the inside of the "cylinder" they operate in MAY be carved up, and there may be metal chunks and filings at the bottom.
If it's sticking or wedging down there no matter what you do up above with the worm and mechanism inside and the valve isn't going to solve the problem.
The part is R 20159. The worm is hardened and unrepairable. The job is not that hard but has to be done on the bench.What parts do I need to get on order for this job? Not looking forwatd to pulling that all out.
I will have to give you a call when I get a chance. In my case if I understand the steering system properly the chipped off corner on my worm gear hex could potentially be an issue when I have it turned full right. I am not experiencing an issue there, but instead at full left where the hex is intact. Can I not build up "aka" weld up the chipped corner and then smooth it back out the way it should be if I am unable to find a good used one to replace it with?The part is R 20159.

I plan to pull the whole steering cylinder out, before I do that, what parts (seals) do I need to locate for this project, trying to get an idea of what parts to expect that will need replacing and cost associated with it.I'll say it again, you need to take a look at the "vane motor".
