Recently I have noticed the floor mat just below the fuse box and steering wheel looked wet. I first thought it was water but soon found it to be some type of oil. Since I was right in the middle of planting food plots I was going to check it out as soon as I finished. Yesterday while hooking up the harrowing it made a shrill noise for a few seconds and when I got back on the tractor the power steering was no longer working. I checked the hydraulic fluid and it was full and clear. Is this enough information to know the problem. This tractor has no FEL or remote hook ups. Thanks for any help.

Check and see if you can get the PTO to turn on and off.
If you can't then you lost the pump section (pump has 2 sections).
If you can then you have a controller issue.

OK thanks I'll check it as soon as I go back to the farm latter this week. The fluid looked like it was coming from the location of the controller.
