NH T1510 Steering Problem

[true temper]

Changing oil and filter won’t fix tractor. Are you sure it don’t have a separate tank and pump for the steering?
Can’t see what 17 is on parts list.

Will this help?

17 on the parts list.

No you don’t check or fill there. It’s either the transaxle or separate tank. That appears to be the steering valve.

Is there a way to bleed out the system? Wondering if there might be air somewhere in there. Seems like the only place to check for hydraulic fluid is on the dip stick.

Again, going back to my post #7. I referred to the rubber hose, which connects the front steering pump to the rear hydraulics pump. This hose is the weakest link in this system, if there is a restriction from the transaxle reservoir to the pumps. It will collapse and restrict flow to the steering pump. Flow can be restricted a number of ways, including: restriction of flow to the filter in the transaxle, filter restriction, or collapsed steel line from the filter to the pumps. Most likely- filter restriction. Drain the tranny, change the filter and watch for rubber hose collapse. If the filter change solves the problem, I would still consider changing the rubber hose as I said, it is the weakest link in the steering system.

Thanks. I came out to the garage to check some things. Main thing I notice is that whenever the steering gives me issues it makes a noise, kind of like a loud higher pitched humming sound. It also does it every time I raise the 5ft brush hog. Won’t do it when I lower it. Sounds like it’s coming from the area circled in red. Looked on messicks but didn’t see that part. I’m almost certain it shouldn’t be making that noise.

I checked all the lines and hoses and don’t see anything wrong.

Are there any belts to check??
