I am trying to help out a friend with an older tractor a JX60.
I know that the injection pump was recently rebuilt.
Now it puts pressure into the power steering fluid tank. I ran it for a short time and could see the fluid shooting up into the tank like it was backing up from the pump. When I checked the engine oil it was very thin, like it has diesel or more likely hydraulic fluid in it. He said it has been using a heap of power steering fluid recently. After replacing the fuel injection pump he is not willing to spend any more money on the tractor, so is about to sell it.
If I could understand what is going on I would like to try fix it for him.
The only connection I can see between the fuel injection pump and the power steering is the case where the timing gear isconnected to the fuel injection pump. Does anyone think the new pump and this power steering problem could be related?
Or does it soung like a failed seal on just the power steering pump itself?
Thank you for any input.
Mick

Did he replace the engine oil after the inj pump was done ?
Remove hydraulic pump and at least replace the sealkit in it. I would just replace the hydraulicpump. Then the oil in the engine again.

Yes he did replace the engine oil. I will have a look online to see what a replacement power steering pump or sealkit for one is worth.
Thank you for the advice

I dont suppose anyone can tell me which power steering pump the Case JX60 has, I get no results at all when I Google it.

It looks to me like the large oval seals must be leakng. Should be within my capabilities to change them. It looks like all I have to do is remove the radiator shroud, and maybe the radiator inorder to get the 4 bolts that hold the pump inplace out.

Well I have found at least part of the problem. I removed the power steering pump and this seal was damaged.
