 Topic: D17 steering leak
Posted: 11 Mar 2025 at 10:03pm |

Have a 1960 d17, it started leaking ps oil from underneath the radiator on top of tank. Between the front mount pump and the add on loader we can't see where from, any ideas.

If it happened all at once so to speak, I'd say it is leaking on the right side behind the grille shell. There are four tapered head allen bolts that sometimes loosen up with age.

Not leaking there. Had it parked downhill today and could watch it run across to top of oil tank on the left side looking at the front

Best way to see it is to remove the shroud, maybe even the radiator if you still can’t see it. The fitting that the sump line attaches to is aluminum it may be cracked and leaking. NLA so I had a hydraulic shop make me a new fitting and hose connection. Works great.

A year and a half later and the new fitting still works great.

Thanks Mike. Almost a year worth of work to it and a lot of new parts. I do enjoy that tractor. I would be surprised if his leak isn’t with the original fitting.
