I have a JD 955 that I last used a few weeks ago. Went to move it and see the steering wheel is all play and there is oil on the ground. I looked at the hoses and can't visibly see a leak. It will start(just tried briefly) but I am thinking maybe a hydraulic oil leak? The pictures below show where the oil on the ground was and I see oil to the right of the drive shaft in front of the round metal piece as you can see. I called my mower repair guy and he said to talk to the hydraulic people. I was hoping someone on this forum can educate me so I can get a basic understanding of what is happeing?
If their is no hydraulic oil, would the steering freely turn but not the wheels? Should I check oil and put more in and turn on and I would see it squirting out? I know very little about this stuff but would like to try and figure it out so I have an idea of what is going on if I have to hire it out to be fixed.
