Power steering ram.

[Fritzman]

I have a leaking power steering ram on my 1710 tractor, 1 replace? -- repair? other options?

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Yes.....any one of the above....

You can repair it with a kit. Pay attention to what you're doing and swap the internals out. Should work like new.

Thank you, I will start with the repair, recommendation for the kit?

Who makes the steering ram? Ford made the PS option as an integral power steering box.
Since it sounds like it is aftermarket, disassemble and try to read the number on the seals or match up the seals. If it is an external leak, the wiper and rod seal are the only two that need replacing, but a kit from the original maker would obviously be the best!

I will give the repair a go, any aftermarket parts for that tractor?

 

[TractorTech]

Some, but who made the steering ram or are you just asking in general?

 

[Fritzman]

I was asking in the event other part are needed. PS, old tractor = will need parts!
