    power steering fluid leaking into transmission?

    Thanks for the explanation Destroke. I did not know that. My tractor certainly fits that latter description. I don't farm, just do some bush hogging and snow in the winter and occasionally dragging in some cut or fallen timber in the fall for firewood. Take care y'all. I'll be roaming...

    power steering fluid leaking into transmission?

    Thanks Sean. I know you guys are right. I'm just puzzled about where the power steering fluid went since there were no visible signs - puddles or stains under the tractor, drips or leaks under the radiator. Rear hydraulics makes the most sense since it was almost always kept in the barn...

    power steering fluid leaking into transmission?

    No worries. As much info as you need. Mine goes to the front cylinder and NOT to the steering gear. That's what kinda makes this a mystery. There are no lines going in that direction that I know of. Thanks you. Randall

    power steering fluid leaking into transmission?

    Hi Ultra, thanks for the response. Oil has maintained the same level. No change in color - it probably could use a change though. Concerning listing the details of the 5000, I'll start listing them in every post. Although it would seem like a good idea to have some way to include that...

    power steering fluid leaking into transmission?

    Hey everyone, Been awhile, but everything was working and life sent me down another corridor. The last time I was around you all helped me get my power steering unit on my Ford 5000 gasser up and running - and it ran well for quite some time. About 6 months back I noticed the power steering...

    1970 Ford 5000 PS adjustment question

    Just an update on the power steering project. I removed the cylinder and disassembled the spool valve since that was where the leak was coming from. Turns out that I pinched one of the O-rings when I re-insert the valve into the body. I replaced that and "carefully" replaced the valve into...

    1970 Ford 5000 PS adjustment question

    Hey Bern, thanks for the heads up. I did reinstall the radiator, but it wasn't a big deal to remove it and perform the adjustment. I just filled it with water for the time being, so nothing lost there. I did get a replacement hose as was described by you and I think Bob in another earlier...

    1970 Ford 5000 PS adjustment question

    Got the new hose installed and no leaks anywhere, just need to adjust....I hope. Just did this so haven't had time to troubleshoot yet but here's what I got: With the wheels centered, turning to the right is difficult/not power assisted. With the wheels centered, turning to the left is...

    1970 Ford 5000 PS part question

    Thanks much for the info. I found a local place that may be able to help. I'll check them out on Monday. I really would like to have a flexible replacement instead of the stock one. Also found a few online that make custom hoses so hopefully I'll find something. Randall

    "1970" Ford 5000 power steering

    Got the cylinder apart and all seals replaced and back together. Put the radiator back on to test it and found that one of the lines from the pump to the cylinder was leaking ---- pppffffttt. The good news is that I didn't see any other leaks. obviously will know more after everything is...

    "1970" Ford 5000 power steering

    Finally got the cylinder removed. Fairly easy until I got to the Actuator arm. :shock: Now the fun begins. A little nervous as I've never done this before. Randall

    The lines from the pump The lines going into the nose under the radiator The lines into the cylinder The cylinder itself Please lemme know if I'm posting needless images, but I wanted to show you these to get an idea from you if this is typical of this kind of set-up. I know...

    "1970" Ford 5000 power steering

    A little more digging and a few more questions: (Apologies for the long post) When I refilled the pump reservoir and with the tractor running, shouldn't I have felt at least some power assist even though the cylinder was leaking? The seal kit ordered thru the local New Holland Dealer...

    "1970" Ford 5000 power steering

    WOW! It's ummm...clean. Was that pic taken with the radiator removed? And is that what's ahead of me when I go to fix it? Any other "fun" things I need to watch out for? I'll need to hit with Gunk and a good pressure wash to get it close to being as clean as the one in your pic. Radiator...
