Thanks, What is the right tire psi for both front and rear? I think the front tires are rated up to 36 psi but I thought tractor type tires aren"t supposed to use much air. I believe I have about 20 or so in the front. I will max them out.
I have been looking at the I & T IH-25 book. It talks about the wheel turning test for slippage but you have to have quick disconnects on the hydraulic lines to isolate them so that doesn"t help.
So far I don"t think the pump is the problem cause all the other hydraulics work ok. I would think that if the steering cylinder is bad for some reason then it would leak but I won"t rule it out yet. I just replaced the top seal in the steering hand pump and it was moving lots of fluid so I think it may be ok but I haven"t ruled it out.
I suspect it may be in the flow divider or more probably the control/pilot valve which are hooked together. Tomorrow evening, when I go out to the farm, I will look. The later model flow divider(assuming that is what i have) has a power steering lockout that may be turned wrong. The control/pilot valve has an adjustable psi relief valve that you can screw in to up the psi. I can find out if there is a psi problem that way.
The other problems with the flow divider and control valve are if the spools are sticking or if they are so wore out that a alot of fluid is leaking by them. I don"t think these would be the problem but I may have to pull them apart to see if some foreign matter is stuck in them but still if they were stuck then I couldn"t turn the wheels at all when raised off the ground.
Even though the hy-tran level is above the check hole, I will check it while it is running to be sure.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
