tc30 power steering loss

[tctony]

Could use some help with steering on my tc30.
My tc30 suddenly stopped steering.
The piston in the cylinder is broken.
Looking for a place to buy a new one.
Cylinder assy is $500 +.

Well i removed the cylinder today and the piston rod is broken. New holland dealers only show entire cylinder assembly in parts diagram #sba 34495261 for $500+. Says piston rod not serviced separately.
Anyone know where I can find one? That and a seal kit and I will be good to go.

You could try calling one of the salvage yards on this page: Massachusetts Tractor Salvage Yards

Thanks Don,
Will give them a try.

Take it to a hydraulic guy, he might be able to order the piston itself and seals. Yellow pages. Gardiner, Fitchburg should have a place. The guy who can make hydraulic hose, also knows who can repair cylinders, order pistons, seals.
Goodluck.

Many hydraulic shops can completely rebuild the cylinder with a new hydraulic shaft for very reasonable cost.

am replacing the lines so i will start with my hose guy.
thank you.

[tctony]

thanks. Am looking for one in my area. will advise.

Keep us informed. And save that link I posted for salvage yards. You or a friend may need salvage parts at some time, and at the top of that page is a button to look up salvage yards across the country.

To Don, tcreeley, and IH3444,
You guys were on the money. I had to travel a bit to find a guy, but he will make me a new piston and new hoses and seals for a bit less than half of a new NH part. Will be ready Monday and my little blue friend will be working Tuesday.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
