POWER ASSISTED STEERING - ALL MODELS
(where fitted)
While there will be no significant change in the steer~
ing systems of early production new model tractors, a
change is being made to agricultural tractors with power
assisted steering. Three new pump assemblies, each with
integral reservoir and filter will be introduced. These
three pumps will be identical except for the pressure
relief valve setting.
Figure 18 shows the pump and reservoir components.
The new reservoir will completely enclose the rear of
the pump. See Figures 18 and 19. The following should
be noted when servicing the unit.
1. Every 300 operating hours the oil level in the reser-
voir should be checked with the oil at operating
temperature and the wheels in the straight ahead
position.
If
necessary, add fresh oil of the correct
grade to bring the level up to the bottom of the filler
neck. Then, with the engine running, tum the steering
from lock-to-lock to purge air from the system. Add
oil as necessary to maintain the level.
2. Oil must be Ford Oil Part No. M2C41.
3. While it will be necessary to remove the complete
pump and reservoir assembly in order to gain access

to the filter, the period between filter element changes
with this design is every 1200 hours as compared to
every 600 hours with the previous design.
