Hmmm, I'll look in my shop manual and
ponder that and get back to you in a day or
two. Are you thinking it would supply more
pressure or be more responsive? My 4166
seems to work fine hooked up the factory way.
I have owned it several years and used it
regularly. Here's one clue though. Previous
owners put a note on the dash that says " only
shift to 4 wheel steering when tractor is
moving". The reasoning, I believe, is that if you
have the front wheels turned and shift to 4
wheel steer, the rear wheels will immediately
try to turn the corresponding amount . When
standing still, that would put a lot of pressure
on that cylinder and rod behind the frame. I
have 1500 lbs of calcium chloride in all four
tires and I suspect that may contribute to the
bending of that cylinder rod.
I'm also curious about your hydraulic situation.
Mine lifts implements slowly and they settle
too quickly. I think that's a different hyd pump
from the steering hyds, right? Do you think that
may be a pump problem too, or bad seals in
the spool? I'll do some research and check
back.
