The steering box on my IH 4700 is leaking between the box and the section the hoses attach to. It looks like 4 bolts hold the sections together, I’m assuming there’s gasket or o ring that has failed between the sections... any surprises I should expect/anticipate?
Also, I need to check/adjust the pressure of the steering system. With the tag down and a heavy load, the steering gets quite tough. Max load so far of 10.5klb on the 12klb steer axle. What’s the red circle in the 3rd picture? I read in another thread that the pressure relief is on the pump, not the box. For reading the pressure, install a t and gauge?
Thanks in advance for the insight!
