8010 power steering

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   Greetings all,Hauling silage wagons with the 8010 this weekend, and started to have trouble steering.  Tractor wanted to drift to the left, and was slow/unresponsive to turn back to the right.  Eventually, I lost all steering to the right.  
Reading information on the forum here, someone had a similar problem with an 8030, and the likely culprit was the orbital steering motor at the end of the steering wheel.  I am guessing, that after 9000 hours, a seal has blown, or some orifice is plugged, not allowing flow to the right turn valve.  
I see both used and new motors for sale online (Dealer, TractorParts ASAP, etc).  I also see that there is a seal kit part number shown on the partsbook.  
If this is a seal issue, I can replace the seals for less than $100.  If this is a bigger problem, the motor looks to be about $700 after the core charge is returned.  

What do you all recommend?  Rebuilt, replace, or am I barking up the wrong tree of symptoms?  

Thank you
John

	Re-seal the steering cylinder first. I suppose the leaf springs inside the steering control valve could be broken but I've never seen that yet. The other poster has never responded back. Edited by DrAllis - 5 hours 45 minutes ago at 6:39pm
