A friend of mine just bought a 1977 MF230. The power steering doesn't work. He hasn't taken it to the shop yet but has talked to a mechanic about it and they said that that model had a notoriously bad PS system and that it wasn't worth fixing and that it was a difficult fix if attempted. They said it was most likely the gear box and not the pump. I haven't had a chance to look at it myself and I haven't had that much experience with power steering systems either. He said that when traveling over rough ground the front wheels were all over the place. Can any of you guys offer any advice? Thanks.
