Hydraulic loss

[North Idaho Wolfman]

First make sure all these connections in yellow are leak free (not wet).
Make sure fluid level is up to level.

Start the tractor and run it for a minute, check steering function, if you have steering quit it's fixed.
If not, shut off the tractor.
Go to the top of the pump and locate the feed for the steering, use two wenches one holding the purple fitting and loosen the green nut, do not take it off, just loosen.
Start the tractor, be ready to shut it off quick, look for fluid to flow, when it does stop.

I finally got some time to work and try this> At first loosening the top nut didnt do it. I loosened the bottom until it was free ( 030 in diagram ) Suddenly the pressure blew out the plugged line with what looked like dirty fluid. I suspect the seller I bought the tractor from had not serviced it as he told me.
Im changing all the fluids now. I'll write the date on the filters when they are changed from now on.
Thanks for your information! Happy New Year!

Starlink and WIFI Calling will clear that issue right up!
We are far enough out that Cell Service is spotty at best and in the house non existent.
Startlink fixed all of that, I have full cell coverage across all of the property.

We've had Starlink for 3 years and despite what people think of Musk it is the first time we have a way to make calls (via WiFi) since we've been here. We are absolutely indebted for the success of the project.

We were Starlink / SpaceX's first customers, even did a commercial for them.
They have been a game changer for us!
I do a ton of online and computer work and my wife works from home 90% of the time and without it we wouldn't be able to do what we do.

Yup. Couldn't host a WebEx via DishNet. Someone else had to do it and I chimed in via audio. Seriously, I'd have to say something like "Over and out" so they knew when they could speak after 4-6 seconds so not to talk over one another. So many folk got frustrated with me. And I was in IT.

I'd get the question: "So where the heck do you really live?"
