7600 power steering

[TUCKAWAY]

Should I see the fluid moving in the power steering pump under the cap? With a load in the loader I bareley can turn the steering wheel.Any help appreciated.This is a 7600 Ford tractor with a Buhlor loader.

Yes.
You can see the fluid moving quite rapidly in there.
How long has it been since you changed the filter?

 

[TUCKAWAY]

Thank you for your help I will change the filter and go from there. Thanks, Tuck

You're not going to turn the wheels with a loaded bucket no matter what you do, at least not unless you are moving. That system, while well designed for 2WD tractors without loaders, is not meant for heavy front axle loads.
