i have an old MF40b thats sat for years, and its time to get it running again. when i parked it, it had a fuel leak and there was no steering input. the steering wheel just free wheels and nothing happens at the front wheels.
looking at an old post i made about it, it looks like someone said that it may just be out of power steering fluid? so a couple of questions on that - do i fill through the big neck on the PS housing? or the little bolt on the PS itself? fluid level? im not finding a dipstick for it. and what kind of fluid for it? im seeing a whole mix of responses on what type of fluid?
im also replacing the fuel filter and ive taken all the lines off the unit already, along with removing the gas tank to clean it out. ive seen mud that was cleaner than the crap that came out of the filter... anyways, im assuming illl need to bleed the injectors? do i crack open the lines next to the injector, or the bolt on the top of the injectors?
which brings me to my next questions. when i took the fuel lines out, a bushing was attached to one of them, and pulled passed the flare on the other line and is stuck in the housing still. what are these bushings called? and can i just slip new ones over the existing flares or will i need to cut the ends of the line off, install the new bushing, and reflare?
