To check wormshaft end play, first loosen locknuts (1-Fig. 2) on sector shaft adjusting screws (8) and back screws out two full turns. Wormshaft should turn freely without perceptible end play. Shims (24) are available in thicknesses of 0.0024 inch (0.060 mm) (brass), 0.005 inch (0.127 mm) (steel) and 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) (steel); also, a 0.005 inch (0.127 mm) thick paper gasket is available. Install at least one paper gasket and brass or steel shims as required. Tighten steering shaft cover retaining cap screws to a torque of 25 ft.-lbs. (34 N'm). Renew wormshaft bearings as outlined in paragraph 9 if end play is perceptible with paper gasket, but without any metal shims in- stalled. After checking or adjusting wormshaft end play, readjust sector shaft end play as follows: 7. SECTOR SHAFT END PLAY. Before adjusting sector shaft end play, be sure wormshaft is properly adjusted as outlined in paragraphs 5 and 6, then proceed as follows: Turn steering wheel to mid or straight-ahead position. With locknuts on both sector shaft adjusting screws loosened and adjusting screw on forward sector shaft (left side) backed out several turns, turn sector shaft adjusting screw (right side) in until there is no perceptible end play in rear sector shaft (13-Fig. 2). Tighten locknut while holding adjusting screw. Turn adjusting screw on left side of unit (front sector shaft) in until there is no perceptible end play of front sector shaft (9). Hold the adjusting screw and tighten locknut. Adjustment of steering gear is correct if a pull of 1 to 2% lbs. (0.45 to 1.23 kg) is required at outer edge of steering wheel to turn steering gear over center position. When adjustment of sector shafts is correct, reconnect drag links to steering arms. 8. R&R STEERING GEAR AS- SEMBLY. To remove steering gear assembly proceed as follows: Disconnect battery and remove engine hood panel. Disconnect wiring harness plug located forward of fuel tank and safety start switch. Detach proofmeter cable at front connection. Remove steering wheel and sheet metal covers at each side of steer-

Discon- nect drag links from steering arms, then unbolt and remove steering gear assembly from transmission housing. Drain lubricant from steering gear housing if unit is to be disassembled. To reinstall steering gear, reverse removal procedure. Refill gear housing with Ford 134 oil. 9. OVERHAUL. Major overhaul of steering gear unit necessitates removal of the unit from the tractor as outlined in paragraph 8. After removing unit, refer to Fig. 2 and proceed as follows: Remove steering arm retaining nuts (14) and pull steering arms (10 and 16) from sector shafts (9 and 13). Sector shafts and side covers (4) can be removed as a unit after removing cover retaining screws. To separate shaft and cover, remove locknut (1) and thread adjusting screw (8) into cover until threads clear. Unbolt steering shaft cover (27) from gear housing (11) and remove cover, shaft and ball nut assembly. Do not disassemble ball nut and steering shaft assembly (23) as component replace- ment parts are not available. If steering shaft and/or ball nut are damaged, renew the complete assembly. The need and procedure for further disassembly and/or overhaul is evident from inspec- tion of the unit. Gear housing sector shaft bushings are not serviced separately from housing; install a new housing if bushings are excessively worn. Bushings (5) are renewable. Shims (7) on adjusting screws (8) are available in thicknesses of 0.063, 0.064, 0.066 and 0.069 inch (1.600,1.625,1.676 and 1.752 mm). When reassembling, select a shim that will provide 0.000-0.002 inch (0.00-0.05 mm) clearance between adjusting screw head and slot in sector shaft. To reassemble, insert steering shaft and ball nut unit into gear housing with gear teeth on ball nut forward, then install steering shaft housing (27) with proper number of shims as outlined in paragraph 6. Insert sector shafts, with their adjusting screws and correct thickness shims, into gear housing so sector gear teeth and ball nut teeth are timed as shown in Fig. 3. Place new "0" rings (6-Fig. 2) on side covers (4) and pull side covers into place with sector shaft adjustment screws.

When reinstalling steering arms, tighten retaining nuts (14) to a torque of 115-125 ft.-lbs. (156-170 N-m). POWER STEERING SYSTEM CAUTION: Absolute cleanliness of all parts Is of the utmost importance in the operation and servicing of the hydraulic power steering system. Of equal importance is the avoidance of nicks or burrs on any of the working parts. 10. FLUID AND BLEEDING. Recommended power steering fluid is Ford M2C41-A oil. Maintain fluid level at bottom of reservoir filler hole with tractor on level ground. Fluid and filter should be changed after each 600 hours of operation. The power steering system is self- bleeding. When unit has been disassembled, refill with new oil to full mark on dipstick, then start engine and cycle system several times by turning steering wheel from lock to lock. Recheck fiuid level and add as required. System is fully bled when no more air bubbles appear in reservoir as system is being cycled. 11. CHECKING SYSTEM PRESSURE AND FLOW. The power steering pump assembly incorporates a pressure relief valve and a fiow control valve. System relief pressure should be 600-700 psi (4140-4830 kPa) while fiow should be 2.7 gpm (10.26 liters/min.) at 1000 rpm on Models 2600, 3600 and 4100 and 2.5 gpm (9.5 liters/min.) at 1000 rpm on Models 2310, 2610, 3610 and 4110.

For ac- cess to shims (25), grasp seat (30) lightly in a protected vise and unscrew body (24). Shims (25) are available in thicknesses of 0.010 and 0.015 inch (0.254 and 0.381 mm). Starting with removed shim pack, substitute shims thus varying total pack thickness, to adjust opening pressure. Available shims permit thickness adjustment in increments of 0.005 inch (0.127 mm) and each 0.005 inch (0.127 mm) in shim pack thickness will change opening pressure about 50 psi (345 kPa). If parts are renewed, correct thickness can only be determined by trial and error, using removed shim pack as a guide. To disassemble pump, bend back tab washer and remove shaft nut (23), drive gear (22) and key (12). Mark or note relative positions of fiange housing (18), pump body (13) and cover (6); then remove pump through-bolts (5). Keep parts in their proper relative position when disassembling pump unit. Pump gears (10 and 11) are available in a matched set only. Bearing blocks (9) are available separately but should be renewed in pairs if renewal is necessary because of wear. Bearing blocks should also be renewed with gear set if any shaft or bore wear is evident. When reassembling pump, tighten through-bolts (5) to 15 ft.-lbs. (20 N-m) and drive gear nut (23) to 58 ft.-lbs. (78 N-m). 13. CONTROL VALVE AND STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY.
