My father and I recently bought a 574 Diesel and today I was getting ready to plow a garden for a neighbor and as I backed up to hook up to the plow I noticed the steering getting stiff. I dropped the lift arms and hooked to the plow and when I tried to raise the lift it wouldn't budge. I unhooked the plow and tried raising it and still no luck. I drove back to my workshop and the steering was very stiff the whole way. Since we haven't had this tractor long I figured I was doing something wrong so when I got to the shop I shut the tractor off and went to get my manual. The only things I found in the manual that might point to a possible cause were low fluid or a clogged filter. All the filters on the tractor were changed when we bought it so I checked the fluid. The manual wasn't clear on exactly where the fluid should show when full, there's a crosshatch pattern near the bottom of the dipstick and a line across the dipstick near the top, but the fluid in my tractor was approximately halfway between these two marks so it's either over full or low. Anyway, I decided to wait until I had more info before attempting to fix the problem so I started the tractor back up and put it in the shed. This time the steering worked fine. Thinking it might have just been a fluke problem I raised and lowered the lift a few times after I got the tractor in the shed and after about 4 times the lift wouldn't come up again. Has anyone else had a problem like this before or heard of this happening? If so, can someone tell me where to start looking for a cause to my problems. Thanks! Clark

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
