Put your money on the steering cylinder piston seal. Orbitrol type steering valves do have problems on occasion but not usually like that.

Shouldn't be all that complicated. (except maybe for putting the deck back under there by yourself) Once the deck is out stand and...

Kits come with pistons and matching chambers. One size fits all.

Photos aren't too sharp (neither is my eyesight) but I don't see what the pump is bolted to. It must have a support right? Looks like...

My advice. Return the pump, even if you have to pay the freight. You don't want a pump with pressure control. Just order a rebuild kit...

Why would you expect bleed screws on a hydraulic pump or (most likely a suction) filter? Bleed screws usually would be fuel system related.

On the earlier tractors for sure there is a strainer in the tank outlet. Some are part of the fitting, some are totally separate...

If it happens again you'll have to dig a little deeper. If there's crap in the tank and lines you get to deal with it. Did you open the...

No, you wouldn't pull the motor out. The screen is a brass mesh, about the size of the hose I.D. and about six inches long. I don't...

It's not an air leak. Anything you hear in the filler opening is more likely high pressure oil leaking off somewhere it shouldn't be (as...

There is no fuel pump. Only the primer pump, which CAN be a problem sometimes. It's the first place fuel goes after leaving the tank. I...

If it fails to steer in only one direction, you probably need to revisit the adjustment with two set screws. If there is enough play in...

Are the discs actually oily when you take them out or do you merely suspect a problem in that area? If so, you probably need new discs...

The other wires. One is a ground wire (the relay coil needs a ground) and the other one (I assume) goes to an operator aggravation...
