STEERING SYSTEMTractors are equipped with a hydrostatic

steering system that has no mechanical link-age between the steering wheel and tractorfront wheels. The control valve unit (Fig. 8)contains a rotary metering motor, a commu-tator feed valve sleeve and a selector valvespool. In the event of engine or hydraulicpower failure, the metering motor becomes arotary pump to actuate the power steeringcylinder when steering wheel is turned. Acheck valve in the control valve housingallows recirculation of fluid within the con-trol valve and steering cylinder during man-ual operation.

Power for the steering system is suppliedby a gear type pump mounted on right sideof the torque tube. . . r "

TROUBLE SHOOTING11. Before attempting to adjust or

repair the power steering system, thecause of any malfunction should belocated. Refer to the following para-graphs for possible causes of powersteering system malfunction:

Irregrular or "Sticky" steering. If ir-regular or "sticky** feeling is notedwhen turning the steering wheel withforward motion of tractor stopped andwith engine running at rated speed,or if steering wheel continues to ro-tate after being turned and released,foreign material in the power steer-ing fluid is the probable cause of trou-

ble. Renew the throw-away type oilfilter. It may be necessary to alsodrain the hydraulic sump and refillwith clean oil. If trouble is not cor-rected, the power steering valve as-sembly should be removed and ser-viced; refer to paragraphs 15 and 16.

Steering Cylinder "Hesitates". Ifsteering cylinder appears to pause intravel when steering wheel is beingturned steadily, probable cause oftrouble is air trapped in the powersteering cylinder. Bleed the cylinderas outlined in paragraph 12.

Slow Steering. Slow steering maybe caused by low oil flow from pump.Check time required for full stroke

travel of power steering cylinder;first with tractor on the front wheels,then with front end of tractor sup-ported by a jack. If time between thetwo checks varies considerably, over-haul the power steering pump as out-lined in paragraph 186.

Loss of Power. Loss of steeringpower may be caused by system pres-sure too low. Check and adjust reliefvalve setting as outlined in paragraph13.

LUBRICATION AND BLEEDING12. The torque housing compartment

is utilized as a reservoir for the hy-draulic systems including power steer-ing. Capacity is approximately 26quarts and only "AUis-Chalmers Hy-draulic Power Fluid 322" or automatictransmission oil type "A" suffix "A"should be used. The oil level can bechecked at the filler plug which islocated forward and to the left of gearshift lever. Make certain that lift armsare lowered and hydraulic cylindersare retracted.

The power steering system is usu-ally self-bleeding. With engine run-ning at high idle speed, cycle the sys-tem through several full strokes of thecylinder. In some cases, it may benecessary to loosen connections at cyl-inder to bleed trapped air.

SpringShima

Fig. 7 — Exploded view of the relief valveassembly. Refer to B—Fig. 10 for location.

TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS13. A pressure and volume (flow)

test of the power steering system will,disclose whether the pump or reliefvalve is malfunctioning. To make sucha test proceed as follows:

Remove hood right rear side paneland disconnect steering system inlei:tube from the steering control valv€;and install a cap over inlet port ol:valve. Connect a pressure-volumestester inlet hose to steering system in-let tube as shown in Fig. 6. Connectthe outlet hose from tester to sumfireturn tube or transmission filleropening so that oil will be returnedto the reservoir. Start the engine andadjust speed to 1800 RPM. Close valveon tester until pressure is 1000 PSIand allow oil temperature to reach120-135 degrees F.

Close the valve on tester completelyand check pressure gage. If relief pres-sure is not 1100-1200 PSI, disassemblerelief valve (Fig. 7) and add or deductshims (5) to set pressure.

The addition of one shim shouldraise the relief pressure approximately50 PSI. Open the valve on testerslightly until pressure is 200 PSI be-low the relief pressure and observevolume of flow. With engine operat-ing at 1800 RPM and pressure 200PSI below relief pressure, volumeshould be 6 GPM. If volume of flowis too low, the pump should be ser-viced as outlined in paragraph 186.

POWER STEERING PUMP14. A gear type pump located on

right side of torque tube is used asthe power source for the steering sys-tem. The power steering pump is anintegral part of the hydraulic systempump and the "Traction Booster"pump. For service information on thethree section pump, refer to paragraph185.

CONTROL VALVE15. REMOVE AND REINSTALL.

Remove cover from below steeringcolumn and disconnect the four tubesfrom control valve. Unbolt and re-move control valve assembly from thesteering shaft housing.

Reinstall the control valve by re-versing the removal procedure. Re-fer to Fig. 9 for proper hose locations.Install new *'O" ring seals on the hosefittings before connecting hoses tocontrol valve and tighten fittings se-curely. Bleed trapped air from thepower steering cylinder as outlined inparagraph 12 after assembly is com-pleted.

16. OVERHAUL. After removingcontrol valve assembly, clean valvethoroughly and remove paint frompoints of separation with wire brush.Note: Make certain that work area isclean and use only lint free papershop towels for cleaning valve parts.

If oil leakage past seal (1—Fig. 8)is the only difficulty, a new seal canbe installed after removing only the

When proper ad-justment is obtained, withdraw therack (68), leaving the adjusting block(48) and the correct shims (49) in-stalled. Attach rack (68) to the pistonrod (73A—Fig, 15) with pin (73B).Head of pin (73B) must be on toothedside of rack (68). Rivet the pin se-curely in position taking care not todraw ears of piston rod together.

21, ASSEMBLY. When assembling,refer to paragraph 20 for adjustmentand assembly of the steering cylinderrack, idler gear and sector assembly.The steering cylinder and steeringshaft must be correctly timed (cen-tered) for correct operation as fol-lows:

Pull the rack (68—Fig. 15) out ofthe steering cylinder (67) as far aspossible, then mark the rack 2 1/16-2 3/32 (2.08) inches from front edgeof piston rod guide (70). Push therack back into cylinder until the mark

is aligned with edge of piston rodguide. Loosen the screws attachingthe rack adjusting block (48—Fig,13) and install the steering cylinderusing new *'O" ring (76), CAUTION:With the previously affixed markaligrned with front edge of rod gruide,the steering piston is correctly cen-tered and must not be moved until af-ter the sector gear Is installed.

On models with single front wheel,install the steering shaft assembly(Fig, 14) with mark on edge of steer-ing shaft flange in straight forward(centered) position, CAUTION: Makecertain that idler gear and rack arenot moved while installing steeringshaft assembly. Make certain that in-stallation is correct by turning steer-ing shaft (14) in both directions andobserving the mark on flange. Tightenthe support retaining ^-inch screwsto 90-100 Ft,-Lbs, torque and the %-inch screws to 130-140 Ft,-Lbs, torque.

When installing the steering shaftassembly on dual wheel tricycle andwide front axle models, use the pre-viously selected shims (60—Fig, 13)and new "O" ring (60A). Position the

steering shaft with marks on sectorgear (55) and shaft away from rack(68) and retaining pin hole for thecenter steering arm (27—Fig. 5) ex-actly across (left to right) the frontsupport casting. Check operation byturning steering shaft (57—Fig. 13)in both directions. Tighten the two ^ -inch support retaining screws to 90-100 Ft.-Lbs. torque.
