West Central Missouri | I've got a customer who bought a Spra Coupe 7660 with an Ag Leader Paradyme on it for steering. He bought it from a John Deere dealer, as-is. I was asked to calibrate the steering system. In the process of doing so, I discovered the steering valve was stuck.
I measured the steer left/steer right coils. When commanded to steer 100% left/right, they would receive 12.4 volts, and would draw 1.6 amps, which is about right. This says to me the problem must be in the hydraulic steering block. Does anyone think otherwise, or have other ideas to look at?
Has anyone ever torn down and repaired a steering block, or know of a place one can send it to? Ag Leader's tech support answer is, "Let's sell you a new steering block". I can't imagine they're not repairable/rebuildable if you find the right kind of outfit with the right kind of experience. | |
