IH 1256 - No steering and no brakes - help!

Hi to all -

We lost our steering and brakes after splitting the tractor a half a dozen times within the year. First lost high and reverse and replaced the gears. Next we broke the speed range shaft when putting it back in. And now we lost the steering and brakes. Split the tractor again and pulled the speed transmission out to pull out and look at the TA pump (which we never got that far-also manual- IH original- says so) and noticed the clutch housing cover (with all those little bolts to take off) inside the gasket was ripped. So we figured that was the problem. NOT! We do have the whole TA gasket kit $90.00. I am new to this forum and have read alot (Great and knowledgable forum) but I do not understand where the MCV is on this particlular model. I'm thinking this may be the problem. By the way when we put the tractor back together we had the steering until we put the clutch in then we loose it. The filters are good. Actually we would loose the steering and brakes occassionally which started a few years ago in the colder weather. Now we lost it completely. And let me tell you if we have to split it one more time I think I'm going to loose it completely, just joking. Now I'm just guessing on the MCV as to what I read on other model tractors. So any and all suggestions welcome. You know it always seems to happen at the perfect time, just started haying in the U.P. Michigan.
