2810 power steering problems

[dave1949]

In reading the posts about snowplows and the crossover valve they use to allow unloading of the contracting cylinder when the plow snags something - could there be something similar somewhere in the power steering cricuits that is blocked or sticking?

I re-read your posts and if I understood it, this first happened not long after the front end went over a concrete lip. Something, crushed, squeezed, bashed in somewhere that is not evident?

I dunno, just throwing stuff on the wall

i've looked for something like that but the front end just went into a bunch of muck and the tractor didn't land on anything. that is a possibility though considering the brush hogging that i was doing with it when this whole thing started happening recently. i thought that i would have seen it though as much stuff as i've had apart.

i straightened the right side steering cylinder yesterday. after getting it all back togather, it seems that only the right side wants to bend. the left side seems to be ok. i am wodering if anyone thinks that the steel of the rod is compromised causing it to want to bend? it still seems to me that the extension of the rod is too far though. obviously i don't understand what's the problem or it would be fixed already. now i've gotten to the point of frustration.

King I did you find any solution to the problem. My husband is having the same trouble now. Help going insane!!!

New cylinders should have 5/8" rods, old and aftermarket units are 1/2". Pressure check the pump, make sure it's at 850 psi

Rods are 1/2 on the new cylinder. The left side rod is bending when turned all the way. Seems to be extending out to far. Measurements are about 1-2 inches too long. We have bought new cylinders and had new rods made. Got hay on the ground and need a solution. Anyone got any ideas.

Either go with cylinders with 5/8" rods, or get a 650 psi relief valve and harder steering. The rods should be able to extend all the way out without bending. Also, make sure the cylinder ends are not binding, causing the rods to deflect.

I got everything back togather about a year or so ago. I never found the problem????? the dealer wanted about $2000 to rebuild everything. The pressure refief was 850 psi and so on... I just don't turn the wheels all the way anymore. Its kind of a stupid solution but it works. i'm just very cautious about manuvering. i am of the opinion it is the pressure relief hanging up but i have not replaced it because its clean, tests good, etc. Who knows, it may be that these ps systems are poorly designed. those rods are small and extend way too far out for a tractor with a heavy diesel engine. Mine has a loader on top of that as well. Just too light weight a front end. my suggestion is to get another tractor without that design. just my 2 cents.
