Jake Elwell joining up.

Jake Elwell joining up. I've got an L35 Kubota. Lost my L48 in a divorce! I have a 47 acre wooded property with some logging roads growing in nicely. I also have a sawmill. A Kioti 2200 UTV and lots of firewood and lumber equipment

Welcome to the forum. Your ex must have really like your previous Kubota.

Did a double take. Thought at first I read Jake Elwood.

That's how I got dubbed "Jake" as my USAF handle. Stuck like glue.

Having some issue with my L35. For at least ten minutes - longer during cold weather - I have no power steering and no fowrad/reverse motive power. Eventually clears. I understand that the steering pump provides hydraulic pressure for the GST control valve. Since this eventually clears, I feel the pump is working. Do I have a suction issue? I'd read of guy who replaced the three short flex branches on the suction delivery tube and solved a similar problem.
Full reservoir, new fluid (TSC UDT) new filter, some foaming evident on the dip stick, a couple of cold weather seal leaks on the TLB side.
Thoughts? Thanks!

Foaming seems to point to an air leak. It seems usually on the suction side.

I might start by changing to Kubota Super-UDT rather than the TractorSupply whatever-it-is.
