Hi a’ll!! So I’m getting really tired of this power steering leak and can’t figure out how to fix it… I’ve replaced the O-ring but it helps for awhile than it leaks all over again…  ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

| I'd scrape all that paint off both surfaces, run a flat file on each side (unless both sides are "somewhat" flat), and use a touch of rtv silicone in the o-ring groove. |

| The boring under cap is only a dust seal. There is orings on spool that need replaced. MACK |

Look at the barrel when you have the spool out. Water will form pits and the o-rings will not seal. ------------- http://lonsallischalmers.com |

I had the same problem. Mine would leak oil while it was not running. I did everything I could think of twice. Finally, I noticed the cap was slightly sprung or warped. I straightened it that stopped the leak. Good luck, this kind of problem can drive you nuts. ------------- D-12III, 200D, 170G, HD-3, D19D 3pt, D17D High Crop, WD45G p/s, D15IID, D15IIG, D15G IND, 655, (3)WD45D p/s, 700, 816 |

Thanks Mack!!! I didn’t even know there was O-rings there…. I replaced the O-rings and it works like a good Allis should!!! ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

It doesn’t have anything in there to catch my finger nail on and no rust in there (it surprised me) so I think it’s ready to roll!!! ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |
