Hey guys,
I've been working on my new 1989 model 420. I have changed all the fluids and filters and repaired all leaks. Every thing is working
well, except.... there is a vibration when I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right. The steering cylinder is not leaking.
The front tie rods etc are all good and tight. The only obvious thing I can see is the swivel end of the steering cylinder attached
to the left front wheel has some wear in it. Could the internal seals in the cylinder be bad and cause this vibration? And I have followed the TM instructions for bleeding the hydraulic system. And, the center cylinder that raises the deck
and 3pt hitch works without causing a vibration. The other hydraulic levers, when actuated and put under load, also do not cause
any vibration. It just occurs when steering any direction other than straight ahead. Any ideas?
