1967 2000 Series Power Steering
A month or so ago I decided to change the fluid in the power steering reservoir. It was brown/gray in color and had lots of "floaties." At that time I discovered the filter also had the spring inserted below it instead of on top (a PO thing)- which meant the fluid wasn't actually being forced...- YerocSemaj

I pulled the four hardlines that go from the steering box to the cylinders, as well as the hose going to the box from the reservoir, and blew air through them. Reinstalled and refilled the fluid. The steering pump is clearly pumping as the fluid in the reservoir definitely gets moving. I cycled...- YerocSemaj

Sounds like a more reasonable place to start. I did find some "black, rubbery chunks" attached to the side of the new filter, so I'm guessing the hoses were as bad on the inside as they were on the outside, which supports your thinking. It also looks like someone's been into the steering...- YerocSemaj

So, take the skins off the column, open the lines to the steering box, and... blow air through them to hopefully dislodge any chunks? Or pull the whole unit and clean it out? The hard lines are pretty thin so I can see one getting plugged. The new fluid is already "dirty" even with a new filter...- YerocSemaj

Ok. I drained as much of the old oil as I could from the bottom hose fitting near the left cylinder. I replaced the filter and filled it with Traveller brand (TSC) Trans/UTF/Hydro fluid (10w-30 I believe). I lifted it and cycled the steering back and forth maybe 40 times. It got slightly easier...- YerocSemaj

1967 2000 Series Power Steering
Sorry, I was out of town for a couple of days. I've ordered a new filter and I'm going to replace the fluid with Traveler brand AT/UTF/Hydro fluid. Does anyone know offhand the lowest point that I can drain the old oil from? Then I'll lift the front and cycle the steering back and forth and see...- YerocSemaj

1967 2000 Series Power Steering
I've searched around a bit and I can't find what I'm hoping to. About a year ago I bought a '67 Ford 2000 series, 3-cylinder gasser, just to pull a small garden tiller around. I've been slowly fixing/replacing things here and there since, but I'm stumped with a power steering issue. I have the...- YerocSemaj
