Of equal importance fs the avoidance of nicks or burrs on any of the working parts, 6. Fluid for the power steering sys- tem on all models is supplied by a PTO driven power steering pump (1— Fig, MF103) located on the right hand side of the transmission case. The oil reservoir is common to the transmis- sion, differential and hydraulic sys- tem, The return ofl from the power steering system operates the multiple disc PTO clutch (10). A review of the oll flow shown in Fig. MF103 will be beneficial in locating trouble, TROUBLE-SHOOTING All Models 7. The following paragraphs list the more common troubles encountered in the operation of the power steering system. Once the cause of trouble is determined, the procedure for corree- tion is usually evident, LOSS OF POWER ASSISTANCE. ‘Most common cause is low system pressure or flow, which may be due to insufficient fluid in reservoir, de- fective pump or relief valve or plugged or restricted lines. Other possible causes are binding linkage or sticking or worn control valve. POWER ASSISTANCE IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY. Could be caused by sticking or worn control valve and/ or valve linkage, or faulty cylinder. UNEQUAL TURNING RADIUS. Could be caused by binding or bent linkage, or improperly adjusted tle- rods. ERRATIC STEERING CONTROL, Could be caused by plugged filter, low fluid level, sticking or worn control valve or faulty relief valve. UNEQUAL TURNING EFFORT. Could be caused by sticking or worn control valve, faulty cylinder or bind- ing mechanical linkage. In checking for trouble, note the free back and forth movement of the worm shaft (7—Fig. MF109) when the steering wheel is turned with the en- gine not running. Movement should be approximately equal both directions from center.

When cause of trouble has been de- termined, proceed as outlined in the appropriate subsequent paragraphs. OPERATING PRESSURE AND RELIEF VALVE All Models 8. A pressure test of the hydraulic circuit will disclose whether the pump, relief valve or some other unit in the system is malfunctioning. To make such a test, proceed as follows Connect ‘a pressure test gage and shut-off valve into the pump pressure Tine at the control valve. Note that the pressure line is the steel line that connects to the top port of the control valve. Open the shut-off valve and run engine until oll is warmed, Ad- vance engine speed to 2000 rpm, close the shut-off valve and retain in the closed position only long enough to observe the gage reading. Pump may bbe seriously damaged if valve is left in the closed position for more than 10 seconds. If gage reading is 1500 psi with the shut-off valve closed, the pump and relief valve are O.K. and any trouble is located in the control valve, power cylinder and/or connec- tions. If the pump output pressure is more than 1500 psi, the relief valve is either improperly adjusted or stuck in the closed position. If the output pressure is less than 1500 psi, the relief valve is improperly adjusted, the filter or fil- ters are plugged or the pump needs overhauling.RELIEF VALVE Fig. MF104—Insi ing location of pe ‘The power steering relief valve is located in the by-pass line between the pressure and return lines inside the clutch housing (refer to Fig. MF104). ‘The pressure is adjusted by the addi- yn of shims underneath the relief valve spring. To service the pressure relief valve, first split the tractor between the en- gine and transmission case as outlined in paragraph 137. POWER STEERING PUMP All Models 9, R&R AND OVERHAUL.

The pressure tank is fitted with fuel filler (2—Fig. MF- 121), vapor return (1), pressure relief, bleeder, and liquid (5) and vapor (3) withdrawal valves which can only be serviced as complete assemblies. Be- fore renewal is attempted on any of these units, drive the tractor to an ‘open area and allow the engine to run until the fuel is exhausted; then open bleeder valve to allow any remaining pressure to escape. Fuel gage assem- bly consists of a dial face unit which can be renewed at any time, and a float unit which can only be renewed if the fuel tank is completely empty. Fuel tank is fitted with a % NC threaded boss to accommodate an eyebolt for removal. The safety relief valve is set to open at 312 psi pressure to protect the tank against excessive pressures. U.-L. regulations in most states pro- hibit any welding or repair on LP-Gas containers and the tank must be re- newed rather than repaired in the event of damage, Fuel lines can be safely renewed at any time without emptying the tank if liquid and vapor withdrawal valves are closed and the cngine is allowed to run until any fuel is exhausted, 39. FUEL FILTER. The cartridge type fuel filter (4—Fig. MF121) is lo- cated in the tee between the vapor and liquid withdrawal valves. To clean the dise-type filter, close both fuel tank withdrawal valves and run the engine until the fuel is exhausted from the system, Remove filter to vaporizer line at filter body, and filter body from filter head, Remove element and spring from filter body, clean element in suitable solvent ‘and dry thoroughly before reinstalling. VAPORIZER LP-Gas Models 40. OPERATION AND R&R. The LP-Gas vaporizer serves two pur- poses in the system. First, it vaporizes ‘the liquid fuel as it is received from ‘the fuel tank; and second, it acts as a primary regulator to reduce and control the pressure of the vapor prior to entering the carburetor. The vaporizer is mounted in the water outlet elbow at the top of the cylinder head, Before removing vapo- rizer or disconnecting any fuel lines, close both tank withdrawal valves and allow engine to run until all fuel is exhausted from vaporizer, fuel lines and carburetor. Turn off the ignition switch after engine stops. Raise hood, drain radiator and completely remove the left hood side panel, Disconnect the vaporizer to carburetor connection and tank to vaporizer hose. Remove the vaporizer retaining cap serew and withdraw vaporizer from water out- let elbow. Refer to Fig. MF122 for an exploded view of vaporizer. Test and, or overhaul the unit outlined in para- graph 41. 41, TEST AND OVERHAUL. The removed vaporizer assembly can be tested for external or internal leaks without disassembly, and an almost complete diagnosis of vaporizer con- dition made, To test the unit, pro- ceed as follows: Connect the vaporizer inlet to a source of compressed air and com- pletely immerse the unit in a water tank. External leaks will show up as air bubbles. Note especially the areas around vaporizer coil and mounting plate (1—Fig. MF122) and around Paragraphs 38-41 Fig, MF122 — Exploded view of vaporizer ‘essembly. 1. Coll ate 10, Gasnae 8.
