Update.
I put a new oil pressure gauge on that reads the PSI instead of low, normal, and high.
Oil pressure is steady at 60 PSI. At full throttle it's 65 PSI.
It's in spec.
Maybe it is the timing cover gasket. Unsure.
In the meantime, I put some RTV black in the hole. Hopefully that seals...
I'm not totally confident that is the case but maybe so. I have similar thoughts on it. Once I test the oil pressure I'll have a better view on it.
Seems like no matter what I do I'll have to tear it apart before I know what the issue is.
It's a project. I have slop in mine. I just recently picked it up.
I'm leaving it for now on mine but I know there are a number of posts online on tightening up the steering box.

Personally I run Mystik JT-5 because I run that in everything. Specs said it would meet Permatran specs. Haven't used my tractor hard yet but so far, it hasn't had any issues with JT-5. Permatran was
