Starting last winter my power steering on a B20 TLB has been failing intermittently. After suffering a seal failure on the HST input shaft, I split the tractor and replaced the seal and many other drivetrain parts. Hoping the pressure might come back up and the power steering would return, I only replaced the top seal around the steering shaft which was leaking. No luck. Still no power steering. Reading all the posts about steering makes me want to remove the pressure relief valve and check it for dirt. Can I do this and reset the pressure to where it was? I don't have the special bolt and gage needed to check it or set it. Is there a Do-it-yourself way to set the pressure or do I have to take it in?
Also - can anyone tell me how old this tractor is? The serial number is 70354. The hour meter was stopped at 852 which is probably 1852 at least. I've put another 200 hours on it this summer... Good well used machine, but a full time job keeping it in good shape....
