MF C 20 Turf

Hello again all,

So now I've stumbled on to an old MF C 20 Turf tractor that seems to be in pretty good shape. It's gas, but hey all I need is to bush hog about 4 time a year. I actually bought it because the loader on it was worth more than I paid for the tractor with the loader. Anyway, I was backing out of the barn and blew a hydro line to the power steering cylinder. I replaced the line but now have no hydraulics at all (steering or 3 pt lift). The fluid level is still in the range marks, so I am scratching my head right at the moment. Do I need to bleed the line somewhere or is possible the pump went out at the same time?

As always thank in advance for any input.

hi,first off I have no experience with that tractor.but I would start by topping off the fluid,and keep cycling the steering and check again and that should bleed it.does it have a separate ps pump?

At least some of the 20Cs had a power steering pump mounted on the right front side of the engine, with a separate reservoir.
 
Thanks Jim for the information, and everybody for that matter. I messed around with it some more today and did get my rear lift to operate. After that, I bled the lines going from the steering box down the ps cylinder, and even purged the air from the cylinder itself. So now with the tractor running, when I turn the steering wheel I get just a little wiggle from the cylinder to the linkage. When I loosen the hydro fittings at the cylinder and turn the wheel I get some fluid leakage, but nothing forceful as if under pressure. I'm going include a pic if possible (meaning if I can figure out how to do it). I don't see any separate fill port for the power steering pump. My 245 did have one as you suggested. I don't suppose you fill the filter canister with lid off do you? Guess I better get a manual.

Thanks again everyone!

Yep, took the top off and filled it... feel kind of silly that I didn't know that before. I'm always thinking there is a fill spout. In this case the reservoir lid is the fill spout. Thanks!
