Lack of info here. 1. Does the tractor even move??........in ALL gears? 2. Will the remote hydraulics raise an implement??? 3. Does the steering wheel move very freely?? (like splines worn out on the steering shaft)??? 4. Are there any unusual noises when the engine is running???

We used the tractor Saturday afternoon everything works but the power steering no unusual noises The steering wheel turn freely for 1/8 of a turn then it feels like it is going grab the tie rods attempt to move as you continue turning the wheel it comes to a free zone again

thanks

Splines on the steering wheel shaft that mate with the orbitrol have failed I'll bet.

Dr.Allis

You were close the problem was the universal joint in the steering column broke. Agro doesn't stock this part anymore. So the shop repaired the part
