hey all,

I drug home a new to me 7040, and when it gets warm, the steering is weak at low RPMs.

Even when cold and reved up, you can tell the steering is not as crisp as the others.

Any places to look?

Thanks!

Stuck/sticking priority valve on the steering pump or internal issues with the steering pump.

Might need the cylinder rebuilt.
