IH 240 U - could I actually have (busted) power st

Posted by Dave D on November 27, 2004 at 14:06:00 from (4.233.164.100):

Starting to put 2 and 2 together...slowly, or at least ask the right
questions.

Clue #1: this tractor has a Superior loader. Clue #2: Tractor
makes a periodic whining sound up front (engine runs smooth,
not aparently affected) when I am moving along trying to stay
straight, swinging the wheel back and forth.

Clue #3: The steering has been loose as a goose on this unit
since I bought it. And it's dang near impossible to crank the
wheels when stationary.

Could the intermittent whining sound be a failed power steering
unit? Was not told that it had power steering when sold. How
do you tell?

(PS, I read all the posts about sheared Woodruff keys in the
steering box on 240s. Have never tried to look in there and it
sounds tricky.)

Thanks, gentlemen.
