Backhoe Won't Steer! What To Do And How To FIX IT

@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin 3 years ago

Thanks for the backhoe maintenance videos! I have a 455C Ford & know I'll be referring back to them as the machine gets used more.

My 555 has a steering issue too. Works OK with the front bucket empty, but when I have a lot of weight on the front, it doesn't want to steer. If I drive down a road with a slope to one side or the, I have to constantly turn the steering wheel to keep going straight. I figger it is probably the pump getting weak.

Thanks for another great video. Where do you get your replacement hydraulic hoses? ~$20 each doesn't sound bad at all.

New to big equipment. Just bought a Ford 755 with half-working power steering. Did you use hydraulic fluid or some type of power steering fluid?

Hey, I have a 550 & have a leak so bad it emptied the power steering reservoir in 15 mins of use. I’ve pinpointed it to the area where 6 hoses meet on like a manifold ? I do have a photo but don’t know how I’d be able to upload it to comments. The hoses are like angled fittings . Steel pipes and they are rusted . I watched this video and you say you swapped out the other lines - is it as easy as that? Getting new lines , undoing and refilling fluid? Cheers buddy.

Hi, I have the MF 50HX and the steering will turn continously to the right with hardly any wheel movement. No leaks. Any ideas? Thanks

My cylinders have 3 hoses that hooks up to each cylinder one is a T and the other is a L on each cylinder. How do I hook them up ?

I've never seen a machine so filthy. Take care of your equipment keep it clean you'll be able to see leaks before it gets major keep your machines clean keep your money in your pocket.
