I got the seal kit for this few weeks ago. I'm gonna get it fixed if the weather holds out and stays kinda nice here. sooo, before I start flinging wrenches,, are there any shortcuts, do's or don't's,,..does the dash and steering wheel hafta come off?? I fixed on of these on a 190 before and, IIRC its not that difficult once ya get the steering motor out repair kit consisted of 2 O-rings and 2 packings for like $26.00,,but if they fix the leak,,,I'm happy |

Another valuable post by shameless. I swore I was done posting on this site and just lurk but since you don't have any constructive advice here I go. You don't need to touch the dash I have done this atleast 3 times. I pulled the panel below the dash and the ones on the sides. I use colored zip ties and have a different color for each line and make a note of my color scheme. Stubby wrenches and gear ends help. Not a big job but not a comfortable one either. Them dashes are old and brittle don't touch. If you run into problems or my memory is off just PM me. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

| Don't disassemble the steering orbitrol any farther than replacing the shaft seal and O-ring. Going farther than that isn't needed. |

what the Dr. is really saying is if you take it apart you will find what it is made of - then you will get to buy another one to make the tractor steer again. Quad ring and oring that is all...

| Yea, I prolly went a little far on sheet metal removal,,I think I didn't hafta take off the top left panel. Jus the top and bottom ones, the most difficult was the 4 bolts that hold the orbit gear to the steering column,,,add some authuritis in,,well let's just say my fingers, wrists, and shoulder letting me know about it now.. Where did I hide the Aleve.... |
