Thanks for your input and yes I do have a service manual from IH.As for why the steering rod bent maybe this might help explain it.One guy responded on the internet that after the lack of pressure the next thing he would suspect was the rear steering cylinder.The other day I talked with a dealer mechanic who remembered working on one and he said the same thing but explained it like this.If the seals in the cylinder are leaking and you are in four wheel steer,when the front wheels are turning the rear cylinder doesn't respond because of the leakage and so an extreme amount of pressure is put on the rod thus bending it at the weakest point.After learning this I have decided to also reseal both steering cylinders while I have in the shop.Thanks for your responses and hope this info might be of help to you.
