 Topic: 190XT Steering Problem
Posted: 7 hours 43 minutes ago at 8:14am |
|
Our 190XT stopped steering. So far what I see is that there is no fluid flowing out of either hose going to the steering cylinder. My assumption is that the steering pump has failed. Do you guys agree? The lift on the back still works. I'm reading that there are 3 separate pumps and one is dedicated to the steering and likely needs rebuilding.

If the steering pump isn't pumping any oil, the tractor will NOT MOVE and pull any kind of a load. Yes or No ?? Power Director clutch creeping doesn't count as moving.

Moved it 40 ft - it moved sluggishly.

It doesn't really move and able to pull a load. On the back section of the hydraulic pump is a large hex plug facing out at you. Probably take a socket bigger than 1 1/4" to remove it. Remove the plug and spring and dig out the spool inside. The spool should slide freely in and out. Make sure it does. This is where to start.

Fluid level was good. We added one gallon but that was just to pull it up a little on the dipstick. I'll do / check both things suggested. Thank you

I still use my sump screen but others will tell to remove it. Filter been changed lately? If the pump is struggling to get oil to it all 3 functions will suffer. Steering, trans, hydraulics.

Sump screen should never be removed!!!!! It is not really a filter, but it keeps any schrapnel/metal/ failed P.D. debris from getting sucked up into the pump and locking it up and then breaking the nose off the camshaft. The very early 190/190XT's had a sump screen AND a suction filter inside the left side frame. A-C removed those suction filters because they were nothing but trouble. They never did away with the sump screen and you shouldn't either.

My bad. Unless your XT is a late series 3, I told you wrong. Your spool is on top of the pump on the rear section. Takes a 7/8" wrench. Remove oil fill neck to gain access. Spool still has to be free to slide up and down.
