John Deere 2720 No PT0 No Power Steering....No Clue

[Tx Jim]

Hey LouNy. So it ended up being the charge pump which we replaced. PTO works great, however, the power steering really seems spongy and almost non-responsive.....unless I engage the PTO. With the PTO engaged the steering improves slightly but the hydrostatic drive whines a little more. Suspecting a faulty relief valve? Any suggestions as you seem to know what you are talking about!

Thank you.

Have you checked/cleaned hyd oil suction screen?

Not this time around. I have in the past but it sounds like this is something I should revisit tomorrow morning.
