M5 power steering

[John Olynyk]

I bought this M5 and got it running pretty nice It has a FEL. the hydraulics work well and are fast. can lift the front end off the ground. The previous owner told me he changed hydraulic fluid and put in 32 hydraulic fluid.
my previous M5 had nice easy power steering. this one steers fairly good when driving, not as easy as my other M5. Also when sitting in one place it is fairly hard to turn the wheels. my other M5 that I sold was easier to turn when the tractor was not in motion.. the oil tank on both is under the seat..
is it possible there is a restriction in there somewhere??
thanks in advance..

Assuming that it turns equally hard in both directions and the pressure is in the correct range, it is likely that the 10A13378 lever (# 20 in the picture) has flats worn on the sides. Replacing that part will usually correct the problem. They are still available new.

Thanks for your reply. For some reason the picture doesn't open.

It isn't just a picture, it is a page on AGCO's M5 parts book.

Below is the link:

Just paste it in the address bar on your browser. The button in my 1st post works for me so it might be something with your system that doesn't allow it to open.

Also is this lever hard to change? I don't have a shop to work in and it's getting cold now.

it doesn't work for me because it says "login"

Would have a used valve setup. No idea on condition.

I was using the guest user button so I'm not sure why it would ask for a login.
Was trying to make it easy.

Try this Link:

Then you will have to scroll down to guest user & click on it.
Then select "White", "Parts", "Tractors", Minneapolis Moline", "M5", "Steering Control Valve"

If you go to the Schnidt Inc web page and click on LOGIN at the bottom and when the login page comes up go to the guest user and click view books. This should get you the parts books area.

1. What front end does it have?

2. For an M5 tractor parts manual and hydraulic manual go to nnalert dot com, tractor forum, scroll down to user manuals, MM, then look for M5. Double click attachment icons to download.

Thanks. I will order the part.

Well try as I may. I am unable to get anywhere in Agco. I can't locate the part or picture of where that part goes on the tractor. Not sure if it's my computer or my ignorance.
