New one to me. MX 5100 with 155 hrs, barn kept. Was driving to get diesel, approx 6 mile trip. Noticed that I had to keep turning the steering wheel counter clockwise to keep it on the road. Must have made 25 revolutions in the 6 mile trip 5 - 10 degrees at a time. Same on way home. Checked steering wheel bolt in middle and it was tight. After parking it in barn, I can slowly turn the wheel either direction and feel the gears interact, but wheels don't move.
Friend said that could be the power steering runs off of hydro fluid and may be low. Haven't gone back and checked level, as was pouring rain when I got back home last night and just wanted to go inside.
Any thoughts? Set screw somewhere not tightened up? Does the power steering on an MX run off the hydraulic fluid?
Thanks
Doc
