Mahindra 4010 steering issue

[mortimer99]

My 2013 4010 steering wheel does not lock up when turning all the way to the right, and in order to keep turning in the same radius I have to keep turning the wheel. When turning to the left it stops.

When then the tractor is off, I can, with effort, turn the steering wheel both ways, although the right is easier than the left. My uneducated guess is that the steering wheel hydraulic junction below the steering wheel is bad, since I can turn it when the tractor is off, and not the rams on the axle. The component below the steering wheel is made by sinjin, and the numbers are PSU 89cc, then 1452-405-400-1 then 12f 002, to find that part is like looking for Waldo. Internet search turn up almost nothing, but I may be headed down the wrong rabbit hole.

I would really appreciate any insight from any of you.

Sounds normal to me. There is no direct gearing in the design of the steering. The cylinders are not power assist but the actual steering mechanism. My 3016 is that way and I suspect most if not all of the Mahindra line is too. I. Know most of the kioti line is similarly designed.

Thanks, it seems to somewhat to have fixed itself....
