I just purchased a 5400 with 3200 hours and front wheel assist. I drove it to my sons place which is about 10 miles.
On the way I noticed that the JD logo was upside down and the steering knob was at the bottom of the steering wheel. As I continued to drive I looked down and the logo was upright and the knob was at the top. During the ten mile drive the steering wheel went a full 2.5 revolutions.
The steering seems tight and any small movement of the steering wheel moves the front wheels. I didn't notice any looseness in the steering wheel and the tractor did not seem to have a tendancy to drift.
I assume this is probably 100% hydraulic steering and that something in the positions sensing area is slipping.
Is this a dangerous situation or is it nothing to worry about? What would it take to fix it?
