greg-g, Thanks for replyThe center bolt on the bottom of the 4x4 drive was a drain & all the old gear oil was removed,

You are right it's ISO 46, I did find a 2 gal jug of 32 at Northern Tool

Power Steering Crud
All the fluids & filters have been replaced except the Power Steering & doing that now
The screen filter & reservoir was very dirty, & I've removed & cleaned them
Unhooked cylinder hoses 1 at a time & purged them with kerosene, now draining lines at lowest point of tractor
I have not removed any lines at the pump or steer box
Have run kerosene thru PS system (Front wheels up) turning steering wheel at low rpm
Thanks, David

Working the steering wheel long enough to ensure the kerosene flows through the lines to/from the controller (under the steering wheel shaft) should suffice. When pumping the last of the kero out of the system, don't reconnect the lines immediately. Pour AW46 into the reservoir and work the steering some more. It will push the remaining kerosene out. When the kero flow turns to AW46 flow, then you can button up.

I don't recommend reusing that old filter, hopefully Bob's links will lead you to an acceptable replacement. I occasionally found parts for my Chinese tractors at stores that sell fuel system parts for over-the-road diesel big rigs.
