I own a 1983 Ford 5610 with Cab, MWFD, and front loader. Can anyone help me identify which power steering pump I need? Unfortunately there were not many English style tractors like this here in the US in the early 80s so I’m having difficulty identifying the correct pump. Earlier this year the housing of the steering sector burst a piece out of it so I needed to replace it. The gentlemen helping me with the parts said I had the incorrect pump installed which provided either 2500 or 3500 psi (this led to sector damage)but he said I actually needed the one providing about 1100 psi. Problem is that now the steering is fairly hard to use so I’m wondering if they actually gave me the wrong pump or if I have another issue. I have attached pictures of the tractor, tractor serial number and part numbers of the steering sector and new pump. I think I really need someone that knows the English tractors to get to the bottom of this. Can anyone help me? So far all the dealers have been non-helpful to me. Really hope we can figure this out as I love this tractor. Thank you
