Because someone who sits at a desk designing stuff never even dreamed that there were people out there that actually work outside in the dirt and not a nice clean cement slab

Own a 94 F150 regular cab 4X4. It has spent 15 years (Mar - Nov) on Cape Lookout. Have used to haul everything and carry everything No thrills, no carpet. Very comfortable and HAND cranked windows, stick shift with an inline 6 engine, 8 Foot Bed. When time to clean, just open door and power...

Yes, to me that is automatic. Fresh oil, filter and I will be replacing a few hoses also. All of the ones connected to the new trans and few of the older ones on the machine.

OK now. After a month or so on this problem, with help from people on this site I have narrowed down EXACTLY what the problem is. It is the pump after the gear pump. It is the 3rd section back from the front by the engine. I have heard 2 - 3 different names. The gear pump comes after. Now, with...

No, that is not it. Mine is model 78190

OK, everything is now tested. I put T,s in on the hose from the trans, then on the hoses going to the front hydr cyl. I have no pressure readings. not even out of the transmission. Oil will drain, but no pressure. If I put the bucket down and lift the front wheels up it still turns, a little...

OK, now I am confused. What area? Steering Box or Transmission? Gear pump is attached to Trans. The hose to the Steering Box comes from the front underneath of the trans, opposite end of the gear pump.

OK, checked at the front curl, 2000 psi, both ports. Checked RH arm 2000psi. Rechecked at both ports on power steering. If I dang near stand on the steering wheel pulling it so hard I barely get a 500psi reading. So, bad power steering pump?

This is a non-issue as I have been running Motor oil after 2 flushes and numerous bad leaks for 4 years now.

I refuse to use Facebook or any of those sites.

Gauges came in. checked everything I could think would give me a reading. (Now remember, I have hydro to both buckets, can drive forward and reverse, and can pick up tractor rear by stabilizers and front by bucket.) I checked from trans to p/s box, no reading. I checked from P/S box to both ends...

I know, I already ordered a set with the fittings. It comes friday and Sat I should be able to get it checked out. I was kind of suspecting the gear pump any way because the last owner used hydraulic fluid.

OK, I am tracking. I did not think about the suck air part. Now if you can only figure what else I could do with that gauge, then I MIGHT be able to justify it to the wife.

I am not following you. what am I suppose to check pressure of? The whole basic system?
