4610 SU Power Steering

[strum456]

The power steering on my 4610 SU seems a bit weak compared to other 4610s that I've been on. It doesn't make any noise like their is air in the system. I cannot find any leaks whatsoever. The fluid is up to level. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The tractor is new to me. Maybe someone put in the wrong fluid? Is there a separate filter for the PS?

There is a filter in the power steering reservoir that requires removing the reservoir. The fluid is the same as the transmission/hydraulic oil.
The pump may be getting worn. Only way to find out is install a gauge to test pressure. Pump relief, also in reservoir, may be shimmed up to increase pressure if it is not beyond worn out.
