    Help with Deutz 5230 power steering

    My tractor has the optional power steering, but it has not been working for some time. Today I discovered that the fix was as simple as low fluid level in the reservoir. I added approx 3/4s of a quart of new fluid and I now have full power steering again. Unfortunately, all the fluid in the...

I contacted Pertronix directly, but they need me to provide the make/model of distributor in order to help me. The make is LUCAS and I was able to get the following info from the...

    Tractor identification

    I got the pin replaced, everything re-installed and tested earlier today . . . success!!! My snow blower is sitting on a skid, and before the repair it would barely lift it off the skid. Now, it lifts at least 8"-9" higher than the skid. On level ground, I figure it will easily lift it a foot or...

    Tractor identification

    I'm surprised how easily the top came off. I unfortunately have no hoist, so I (and my old uncle) had to muscle it off. Your diagnosis of a worn pin was spot on, but in my case, the cam is also damaged. The pin is almost worn in half and the cam is heavily scored. The pin is not a problem, I...

    Thanks for verifying the age . . . that tractor is [b:fc40176714]almost[/b:fc40176714] as old as I am :o I did as you suggested with the draft control lever . . . I moved it to the down position and nothing happened. Then I pushed it back towards the axle, and the lift went all the way to...

    Tractor identification

    Thank you for the information Majorman. The number above the coil is FPL 3882E. The number behind the fuel pump is very hard to read, I [b:dcb089a8f9]think[/b:dcb089a8f9] it is 09D945367. This tractor has been used since 1971 to clean snow, using a grader blade for a few years, then a snow...

    Tractor identification

    I have been in touch with the administrators, I should be good to go now. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out the model and year of this Ford tractor (and then help me with an issue I'm having with the 3-point hitch). I believe this is a Fordson Dexta, my uncle purchased it used in...
