I have a 6080 AC. I can turn to the left, the wheels turn nicely. When I try to turn to the right the wheels do not turn easily, The steering wheel goes around but the wheels do not respond.. I have drained and refilled the rear end hydraulic oil, Cleaned the screen filter in the rear end, put on a new in line filter, Checked the spline on the hydraulic pump. Is it the steering control valve,, Could it be a bad cylinder on the front axle.. Any suggestions.. Thanks Pete

That happens to mine from time to time also. Just turn it he other way and then it works again. Has done this for years. May not bother for months and then bothers a little and then goes away for months again.

I removed the bucket loader and the hydraulic lines to the loader and it seemed to solve the steering problems..

hmmm, seems maybe the loader is hooked up wrong - could be flow divider stuck in pump as well. Would have to have more input to troubleshoooot
