Hello, I have a friend that has a Ford 5000 that he believes is a 1965 to 1969 model year. He parked it a few years ago as the steering quit on him. I have done a small amount of research and have been told it is unfix-able as the hydraulically assisted steering pot was crap? A few years ago I had issues with my wonderful Cockshutt 1850 and was walked through the repairs on this site. I'm hoping for the same thing again... When it stopped, he said he could turn approximatly 15 degrees in either direction no matter how much he turned the wheel. I can't start it to confirm, as the tractor has developed a leak in the fuel tank...I'll have to repair that if I get the go ahead from from some helpful person here. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated...thank you
