Armstrong steering only.

Been using my 830 CK for a couple of years mowing, spring tooth, disc, etc. It's been slowly and incrementally so I didn't notice it as quick as I should but now I'm aware that the power steering is not working at all or not much. Arms are weaker and getting tired faster than old-age is getting me elsewhere. Lol.
Anyway I yanked the screens off and pulled the filler plug to see if fluid was still present and although it looked empty at first, I stuck my finger in the hole and then watch in disbelief to see the fluid rise and overflow all over the canister!? What's up with that?

Before I read more into the manual (I got as far as the picture of where the PS unit is then blah, blah, blah) I thought I'd check with the brains out there to see if there are any tips or tricks in the procedure. Thanks in advance...slim

Maybe the system was low on fluid and when you removed the filler cap the air that was pumped into the system reversed direction. I would fill with fluid and start the engine and move steering wheel back and forth and recheck fluid level.
