We've established in the past that I know nothing when it comes to green paint so that this with a grain of salt, but... Were this an IH tractor, I'd be looking first for leaking hydraulic oil. If that's not a problem, I'd probably pull the hydraulic hoses to the power-steering cylinder (one at a time), stick it in a bucket and see what kind of flow you get, when the steering wheel is stationary and when you're turning it. I'd probably pull the right one first so you know what to expect, then the left one. If flow seems dramatically less on the left side, then I'd check for a constriction in the hose. Failing that, I'd think about pulling the power-steering actuator behind the steering wheel and giving it a good look over (or have a hydraulic shop check it for you.) Don't forget to refill your hydraulic oil and bleed the air out of the system. Something else I'd check (first) is to see if you hear a pressure-relief valve chattering, especially during a left-turn. If so, that'd be where I'd start. But like I said, I'm an IH guy. My one green tractor (an A) doesn't have any power-steering. So good luck with that.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
