460 Long steering question

fsetser · Apr 10, 2012

I ve recently bought a 460 Long 4wheel drive diesel with front end loader. Tractor had multiple wiring issues and a hydraulic leak, which I think have all been addressed. After putting 30-35 hours on it, it has started leaking fluid out of top of steering column at the steering wheel. It starts dripping after about 10 mins of warming up. Does anyone know what is starting to happen here? Don"t have a clue where to start digging. any help would be Greatly appreciated !!

Sounds like it has the power steering valve at the bottom of the steering column, and the top "O" ring is apparently shot. Should be fairly straightforward to disassemble (after taking half the tractor apart, probably!)

looks like a 4 bolt plate holding the shaft into the gear box. I'm hoping that someone that has gone before me would know whats under that plate??

Only one way to find out what's under that plate. . . Inquiring minds want to know. . .
