VerifiedHi my name isXXXXX will try to help. It sounds like your steering valve is what is giving you your problems. Raise up the front of your tractor and also check to be sure nothing else in your steering is binding from your column down to your wheels. Check your filter/strainer for metal/debris that could be restricting the flow of oil and contaminating your system. This would also indicate a failing or failed component. Have your steering pressures checked to verify your pressures are within OEM specs. LEt me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using JA
Your steering valve is at the base of your steering column or shaft. The best way to check is to open up your filter and inspect a sample for metal/debris. You should also have your pressure taken... Thanks for using JA
