case 255 lost power steering

My case 255 lost power steering the other day. The 3pt hydraulics still work great. The machine drips a little hydraulic fluid from the filter housing on the floor board, but the fluid level is good. Any ideas?

It doesn't have a separate power steering pump?

No,

The only thing the V belt turns is the alternator.

I found a Hydraulic schematic on the case website:

Official Case IH Online Parts Store and Case IH Catalog for Best Parts Search and Best Parts Look Up. Case IH Parts for Case IH Tractors, Case IH Combines, Case IH Tractors, Case IH Manuals, Case IH Parts

I assume hose 25 gives fluid to the steering box.

Part # 20 is what drips a bit, and I am trying to order one of those, however have been unable to locate one so far.

From what that shows, tube 30 supplies the fluid to the steering box.

No,

The only thing the V belt turns is the alternator.

After looking at the schematic, this doesn't apply to your tractor, but many machines have a pump that bolts to the front of the engine case, and is driven by an internal gear, rather than a V belt off the fan belt.

Ok i see that now. Thank you.

Any ideas?
