135 Gas steering troubles

[Forester Massey]

In regards to hydraulics, mine did not work and I found an O ring missing on the stand pipe (see agco parts scematic). The O ring is 3/8 x 1/8. Mine dry rotted and fell off. It actually takes two rings of different material but I used two of same material and it worked. I am assuming fluid is ok and not critical as most never change it.

Is your steering power? I though I saw hoses.

I started another thread about the lift pump. I ordered a new pump today off Ebay.
As far as the power steering-They call it "Power assist" I think I have mine now working like new, but it is still hard as h... to steer. I guess that's why they call this a good mowing tractor, because it is very hard to turn going slow.
