White 2-60 steering with Loader?

[hayray]

Just acquired a white 2-60. Steers well with out loader but is a complete pig with the loader on, unusable as far as I am concerned. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? It has a power steering pump separate from the hydraulic system. Very little information about this tractor on line. Changed all the filters and fluids.

FWA or two wheel drive? On the FWA there are two actuators that havw to be adjusted right so the power flow starts when you turn the wheel. I assume there is on the two wheel drive too since there's just a cylinder assist. I can tell you how to adjust the FWA,but I don't know about the 2wd.

If its 2WD sounds like the pump might be getting weak my 2WD 1365 steers pretty good with the loader on it handling round bales and I have 12.5 X 15 tires on the front,not as good as
hydrastic steering if that's what you are expecting.

You said replaced all filters. Did you find the wire mesh filter inside the power steering fluid reservoir? We have the 2 wd here with a heavy loader and it doesn't turn well at low rpms but works well with higher revs. One of the Hex head plugs on top that can is a dip stick, The other is the screen. Turn them out slowly til you find out which is the screen, it has some spring pressure against it and parts have been known to fly away. If you know all about that already, then I didn't add much to the discussion. Good luck!

Check the pressure on the system. We had a 3 cylinder that steered hard and it had dirt behind the relief valve ball.

Thanks, yes I did do that filter.

 

[hayray]

what kind of pressure should I have, and where is the screen?

 

[hayray]

I mean where is the relief valve ball

I have a 2-60 FWA that I just acquired it was hard to steer when I got it. I replaced the pump and no change. Can you please tell me how to adjust the actuators?
