The 340U is a slightly different critter than most, it uses a hydraulic booster on the standard mechanical steering system. The steering box with the expansion plug is just a storage resevoir for the lube. Just like non-power steering, No pressure. The power part of the steering is the "can" like piston on the right hand side of the steering unit. It contains a piston and uses a rack and gear to help move the mechanical portion of the steering gear.The hydraulic portion gets it's fluid from the hyd system on the tractor. The mechanical part still has to be filled and maintained just the same as if it was non-power steering.
If my explaination hasn't confused you enough e-mail me and I'll try to confuse you some more.
