The steering on our 8010 pulls harder when turning left but almost steers itself right and was wondering if there is a skrew or something that could ajust it? It doesnt smoke when under load but when it does it smokes and it doesnt use any oil.

Steering sounds like centering springs are broke or crud in steering valve.

The smoke problem, would need more info. MACK

Thanks for the help. It idols perfect and everything its a little hard to start but starts good and if its running a pto or pulling something it smokes the entire time, not a deep black smoke but you can tell its there.

All mine smoke like that. Only the 7040 uses any oil and its a very small amount, maybe a qt per oil change. They range from 150hours on engine (7080) to 1200 hours on engine (7060) to 9300 hours on engine (7040). The 200 will smoke a little bit too, but it doesnt get the work the others do. Id say its just nature of the beast.
