Latest update. I had installed the poppet relief valve in the draft control housing and closed it up. Priced a new one @ $231. Drained the old oil out. Put in new oil, 7 gal. to fill plug. Then added 5 more gal. I made a dip stick and measured it when full to the fill plug and measured it again with the extra 5 gal. Now I can always figure out how much oil I have in there.
Fired it up and run around. Guess what? Happy days are here again. I have some steering. Was able to drive around making right and left turns. Ran the steering back and forth a number of times with the bucket down to try to work the air out. The more I drove it, the better it got.
The steering is not perfect, but at least workable. I haven't tried it with a bale on the front yet. It seems to work better when running at high revs. It won't drive with one finger like my pickup. It isn't ready for a spinner on the wheel either. It kinda drives like an old mack truck w/o power steering. I was cranking on the steering wheel with all my strength before and barely getting the front wheels to turn and now it turns well but takes a little effort.
Now I can move on to fixing some of the other stuff on this Fix Or Repair Daily IH. Thanks for all your help on this.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
