 Topic: WD-45 Factory P.S>
Posted: 22 Nov 2010 at 5:07pm |
|
Working on a 1957 WD-45 for a customer, and it is equipped with factory power steering. I have worked on numerous allis' but have yet to tear into one of these power steering systems. Anyway, when driving the tractor, the power steering works to the left, almost rips your hands off because it turns so fast. When you try to go back to the right it turns surprisingly hard, and the P.S. is definately not working when turning to the right. Just curious if any of you may know where to start looking, I have not torn into it yet, I just finished the engine work on it, so it is now time to look into the P.S. problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that, I will take a look at it in a few days. I may have this page in my big book of Allis repair manuals, I guess i never looked for it in there.

Well, if that doesnt do it you can about bet one of the O rings is torn or blown. Throwing all the power to the left, starving the right.

Well I got the power steering working, and it works better than I ever expected. The valve spool was stuck in its valve body and I just worked it back and forth to loosen it up and now it works great. Thanks for the help guys.
