Hey Everyone,

Obviously its planting season which is why all of these problems come out of the woods all at once...

The problem is that I constantly have to keep turning the steering wheel slowly to the right (clockwise) in order for the tractor to keep going straight. If I don't, it swings left and its very hard to get straight rows for planting with a drunken tractor. Anyone heard of this before?

The steering cylinder (hydraulic) has been rebuilt a few hours ago, but was last fall. I don't remember either way if it did it before I rebuilt the cylinder or not. Not sure if it has anything to do with it.

Any pointers?

Steering wander is one of the hazards of hydrostatic steering such as the 3140 has. Seat(parts key #26) may be leaking internally.
