    Farmall 450 Hydraulic Detent

    I will be tearing into my 450 this winter to work on weak power steering issue. While I am there I would like to fix the hydraulic valves. The detent doesn't work very well on two and not at all on the main one for the fast hitch. Are the parts easily fixable? I remember trying to fix this issue...

    John_PA, you sent me a reply a few days ago responding to my post for info repairing a steering column leak on my 3400 Ford tractor. Your post suggested I get a FO-31 IT manual so I would know how to properly stake the #21 nut on the diagram you sent me. I do not understand what that means...

    That info gives me more encouragement to do the job myself. I have already pulled the steering wheel because I had a gear puller. I have sockets from very small up to 1-1/2" and should have seal installation covered. Thanks for replying. Your info and comments are very helpful.

    Ford 3400 Industrial Tractor Steering

    Ultradog Thanks again for the information you gave me yesterday. There is a tractor dealer near by(not a Ford dealer) that had a FO-31 manual and let me read how to install this seal. I saw right away I was too much a novice to tackle this job and did not have some of the tools necessary to...

    Ford 3400 Industrial Tractor Steering

    Thanks for your reply Roy. I changed that filter a few weeks back and have logged less than 50 hours since change. I personally have not changed this filter before and do not know if I may have gotten something wrong when I replaced the reservoir. Everything seems to be okay from the outside...

    Ford 3400 Industrial Tractor Steering

    I have read several posts regarding power steering leaks at top of steering shaft on this model tractor. This leak on my tractor is not continuous but is getting to be more often and my power steering becomes almost like manual steering. I pulled the steering wheel and the rubber/metal bushing...
