JD 60 power steering leak

[Monkeymaster]

Hello all

The front lower seal of my power steering is leaking to
the point it HAS to be fixed.

So

1. Can this be replaced without pulling the pedestal?

I assume NO.

2. Is there a COMPLETE gasket seal kit for this project ?

3. Any traps or tricky spots I need to be aware of

4. Has there been a detailed rebuild posted on here that I
could refer too

5. Thank you for any help in this repair

It is appreciated

The steering pedestal has to be COMPLETELY disassembled to replace that seal (actually an O-ring and backup washer).

Those parts are the last to come out and the first to be replaced when going back together.

The last I checked, DEERE still had all the seals available, but not in a ''kit''.

Look on the 'net for a copy of DEERE SM-2050, ''Power Steering For Two Cylinder Tractor Service Manual''.

Also post your question lower down on the page in the DEERE-specific Forum, there's a poster there from Maryland (IIRC) who specializes in parts for these units.
