Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a JD 1050. The tractor has power steering, but it is not working at all. My first instinct is to assume that the control valve is not functioning. Any ideas how to go about troubleshooting this system before I start tearing things apart?

Alright well I dug into it this afternoon. Pulled off the steering control valve and tore it down. The valve itself was not functioning at all it was completely seized. I just thoroughly cleaned all of the gunk and corrosion. Put a little grease on the internals, and fashioned a replacement spring. Now I have functioning power steering.
