FOrd 4110 steering fault

sesese · Dec 8, 2014

hi I have a ford 4110 tractor 2 wheel drive with power steering , I bought it to repair as it had a hard life with a loader fitted ie front spindles and bushes worn out ( never seen grease in there life) the power steering Rams where disconnected I have since repaired the font spindles and bushes and then connected up the steering Rams and stared tractor up and the steering went to the Lh side hard lock with out me touching the steering wheel and I pyhisicaly can not steer it to the rh side with or without engine running , the only way to release it is undoing the Hydrulic steering pipes on the ram , certainly a mystery to me has anybody had the same fault on a ford tractor like this

Your first check is to see if the steering valve is plumbed correctly.

If the plumbing is correct you most likely broke one or more of the centering springs.

Care must be taken in the dis-assembly of this valve. You should have a camera to document the dis-assembly. You will also need a pliers with brazed tips or some other means of extracting the plungers without marring their surfaces.
