If there is a problem with valves in the steering motor can they be fixed? Where to you check the pressure, is it at the pump? I talked with a dealer yesterday and he said those pumps have really tight tolerances. I noticed that the salvage pump I installed had some minor wear or scaring inside the case where the two gears turn. Could this cause the pump to not create enough pressure? Is this why when I run the tractor at a high RPM the steering starts to work a little bit. Would it be a waste of time to try a different pump because they have more. When the tractor is moving it appears to steer just fine. Would it hurt anything if I ran it the way it is or will I do damage to the steering motor of other parts because maybe there isn't enough fluid flowing or pressure? Thanks for the replies, all info is helpful. I just not familiar with this system. The thing I can't figure out is it worked fine until the pump case crack which makes me think that the problem may be just the pump is not fuctioning properly. I hate to buy a new pump just to fing out that wasn't the problem. Dealer tells me to switch the system to a Ross system, $2700 new or $1000 used.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
