In an earlier thread, I was informed of the the risk posed to the injection pump drive by operating the power steering pump low of fluid.
So I had the tractor hauled home and put in about 1/2 gallon of power steering fluid. Since then I have read that ordinary OTC fluid is not the specification and I'm also not yet completely clear what would suffice here.

There was no evidence of assist function when tested with fluid added and no visible leaks either, even after a 5 minute drive.
