The power steering on my Iron Horse (Jinma) IHT254 seems to work fine when it is cold, but after about an hour of use turning the steering wheel applies very little steering pressure. You can spin the steering wheel and nothing happens.
Hydraulic fluid appears to come from a gear-driven pump on the right front side of the engine through a priority valve to the steering assembly which the Operator's Manual calls a "balance string type hydraulic steering gear". It also feeds a front-end loader which works fine.
Any ideas how I could troubleshoot this to determie what is going wrong?
Thanks
