    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    Assumptions can be dangerous and often lead to misinterpretations, especially when based on written word on the internet. I asked for the justification for rtv and reasoning for your recommendation as I am 100% unacquainted with your experience and rationale beyond what I’ve seen on this forum...

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    It is a single front wheel unit. I suspect the manual is written for wide front axle units or mine is a Frankenstein. The retainer assembly has a tapered roller bearing below the main steering gear that appears to be the upper bearing. I’m assuming there is another lower in the housing but...

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    Continued cleaning and inspecting over the past two weeks. Aside from sludge build up in the front support housing, nothing amiss in that area. Did go ahead and drop main gear and bearing assembly (retainer) out to allow for more thorough cleaning. Now to locate a source for the 0.005 vellum...

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    Understood. Service manual specs 5 ft-pounds. No complaints about pulling front support, it definitely needed a thorough cleaning.

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    Finally got back to the tractor after dealing with vehicle repairs and other more pressing matters. Pulled the front wheel and spindle, slid steering gear forward, then pulled completely off the tractor and brought it home for cleaning and inspection. After cleaning, pulled the hydraulic ram...

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    Drove it around the barn yard for a spell, long enough to get up to operating temperature then parked it. Significant fluid movement was observed with filler cap removed at idle, as well as at increased engine speed. Went ahead and dropped the fluid to remove the water contamination and gave a...

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    On the agenda for today is to do so, I was requesting next steps on the basis of the below as I won't be online while at the barn and don't expect yourself or others would be waiting with anticipation to reply immediately. Regardless, I'm putting the time in over there this afternoon and will...

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    Going to be back out at the barn tomorrow and will do some diagnosis on this. Assuming pump moves fluid, what would be next most likely cause or diagnostic step?

    Back blade question - Kubota b6100

    I'll add that I've got a home built box blade and an old ford 6' straight blade. Heavy moving dirt work the box blade is superior. General maintenance the straight blade is better, including pulling ditches back open and crowning a road since it can be angled L-R.

    Back blade question - Kubota b6100

    Are they the best implement for grading a road....no. Are they the worst....no. Will they do the job with some adjusting and learning curve....yes in most cases. Much like debates about the best oil type (conventional vs synthetic) everyone has an opinion.

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    I'll check fluid flow before disassembly as advised and report back. We head out of town today and won't have time to do anything with this project for a few weeks. It has some leaks that need to be addressed and this will serve as motivation to deal with those as well. Haven't gotten to...

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    I went over and moved it to the barn yesterday afternoon. Turns right with some resistance and no power assist returning to center or left. From looking at service manual and parts diagram, I'm expecting to disassemble the gearbox to at least inspect and clean everything.

    D17 power steering - governor driven pump

    Evening all, having power steering woes with my D17 with single front wheel. I'll preface this with I've not experienced the issue and working on vague secondhand information and a service manual. Symptoms: Started with assist on left turns and loss of assist on right turns (including return to...

    D17 oil types - trans/final drive/etc.

    Late follow up but ended up using the universal trans/hydro oil back in late summer 2024 for everything except engine oil and the power steering. Neglected power steering and its now a problem. Dropping that into a thread of its own.

    D17 Coolant in oil

    Yep. Best I could manage is a wooden shed, once the engine is pulled. It is just getting it pulled that would be the main challenge.
