That tractor does not have a steering box, it does have a steering controller, huge difference between the two.

What is you steering doing or not doing?
Most commonly the steering controller is fine, it's usually seals in the steering cylinder that fail.

And if you've never tackled a steering controller rebuild, get the WSM in order to do it, it's not a matter of just replace parts!

the steering controller is leaking fluid from the top where the steering shaft(from steering wheel) goes into controller. I had the local Kubota dealer order the rebuild kit for me which consist of about 6 or 7 O-rings. he cautioned me to be careful not to mess up the timing. I have never rebuilt a steering controller but with some guidance I believe I can. are there special tools required?
