I use a John Deere 2040 to pull a 7 foot finish mower. At the end of last mowing season, the steering got a little quirky. If I turned the wheel quickly it would lag like it was waiting for the fluid to get there. It sat all winter. The other night I went out and found the fluid at the correct level and only a little milky. A little milky but not horrible at all. I started the tractor and tried to raise the mower on the back. Tractor made a loud screeching/rattling sound and barely managed to raise it. The sound was coming from below the steering wheel like between my feet. Not any noise from the front of the tractor where the pump is. I tried to turn the steering wheel and the screeching was really loud and it wouldn"t hardly turn. However, after I turned it both ways a couple times, it quit screeching and the wheels began turning smooth as silk. The hydraulics lifted the mower up several times with no noise and again very smooth. I went out tonight and started it again and turned the wheels and lifted the mower, smooth with no screeching. Still haven"t changed the fluid and cleaned the screen yet. Any thoughts?
