loose stearing

[beagle man]

When I turn the stearing wheel, it moves several inches before the tires start turning, verry slow to react to turning, Just had the Hydralic Cylinder rebuilt, did not fix the problem,,, it was leaking so needed to be rebuilt anyway, any thoughts on this... I see no fluids on the concrete when I turn the wheel left or right, and it does stop when I get to the end of the turn... just slow to respond to the turning of the tires.

I would guess that the fluid is bypassing in the steering box. Also check the pressure output of the pump.

Check the hydraulic box at the end of your steering column to make sure the mounting is not loose.

Bypass is rarely reported in the steering controller, although loose mounting bolts are not out of the question. That said, but you might want to check your work on the cylinder rebuild. To me it sounds like the steering cylinder itself is still bypassing.

Everyone seems to think the problem is related to hydraulics, but I suspect that's not where the problem lies.

Yours will look a little different, but most steering boxes have a lash adjustment screw and locknut, which is used to adjust the lash (slack or pressure) between the steering gears. Have you tried checking the lash adjustment?

Beagle Man, exactly what type tractor are we talking about here? Does it have a steering gearbox, or is it all hydraulic, with a cylinder down in front and a rotary vane pump at the base of the steering colunm?

And just to add to the possible confusion, the tie rod ends on Jinma tractors are adjustable for lash-up in the ball joint parts. They do get loose and make for sloppy steering.

I will look for this adjustment, the book does not have the above information, thank you for your response.

To me, that still sounds like steering cylinder bypass. It's not impossible to improperly or incorrectly overhaul a cylinder. And - to the best of my knowledge - Beagles' steering last adjustment doesn't exist on a Jinma steering controller.
