a friend of mine has a 5040 with power steering that will slightly turn left when you are suppose to be going straight. seems to be more noticable when going slow. could it be in the steering valve? any advice would be great. thanks allis6080 ------------- 6060 s\n 5016 1947 JD B |

Not much help but I used to work for a guy that had a 170. I drove it from one farm to the other one day and counted how many times I turned the wheel all the way around. I know in a 4 mile drive it was something like 8 revolutions. I bet it could be fixed if a guy knew what he was doing
