300 Utility Steering

Posted by Tractorsandhorses on February 16, 2005 at 20:09:07 from (209.62.224.245):

Here"s the story - I bought a 300 Utility about 10 years ago - it had a IH loader with it, but not mounted - someone had taken off the original power steering cylinder from the gearbox and added a hydraulic cylinder on the left drag link - the steering was very loose, and I ended up buying both new shafts for the power steering gearbox - at the same time, I found an original power steering cylinder for the IH gearbox, and teed it into the hydraulic cylinder, as the flow seemed to be equal - this worked fine for the 9 years or so that I used the tractor (with a Davis loader on it) - well to make a long story even longer, I bought a different tractor with a heavier loader and grapple, and decided to sell the 300U (without the Davis loader) - well, the first week the new owner used it, he put a 3-point bale fork on and started moving round bales (1,000 pounds or more) with no loader on it to keep the front end down - he broke something in the steering gearbox (I would assume that it is a tooth or maybe several on one of the shafts), and is suing me to get the purchase price back on the tractor - what are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Dave
