Allis chalmers 190xt steering problems

No priming needed other than turn the steering wheel. So, what did you do to the pump while you had all 100 parts scattered on the bench ???   A seal kit for each of the three sections ??  Those pumps aren't for a novice as there are several different ways to reassemble them WRONG.

Doubt it. Make sure the vertical priority valve spool on the rear of the pump is free to move up/down and the spring pushes the spool down into the bore. No new seal kits ???

the spindles are free. Also have a question of the 190s pumps. Is the priority valve the assembly under the 7/8 inch plug on top of the pump the priority valve? when I took the pump out of the tractor I first removed that plug and there was no spring. Am I just not looking deep enough into the furthest back section? I did not take the whole back part apart only the front three sections. Am I missing something in the pumps back? Also on the seal kits I did put new orings in the groove but not new plates and composite seals. The little plates where still straight and had no scratches or grooves on them. Do you think is should open the pump up again and replace the little plates and composite seals?

Thanks for the replies DrAllis and youngorange2000

If this tractor is old enough to use the port plate on the back of the pump,make sure that you don't have a couple of the lines mixed up with their corresponding locations.

thanks guys, i will check the lines and spring. If my pump is missing the spring, where could I get a replacement? is it just a spring you could get at a hardware store if you knew the dimensions?

Thanks everyone for all the replies

Not just any spring. A specific relaxed length, wire thickness, coil count and spring pressure at a given compressed length.
