Power steering is a feature that makes farm work easier to manage, but a tractor’s power steering system includes several components that sometimes need replacement to ensure that the system is working its best. Whether you need an aftermarket Mahindra Hydraulic Pump, an aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Power Steering Cylinder, or another part, Reubicon offers exceptional deals that will help you keep your tractor running (and steering) smoothly. 

Your tractor’s power steering system utilizes hydraulic pressure to reduce the effort required to turn the steering wheel and control the direction of your machine. It’s hard to imagine that there was a time when power steering wasn’t standard on most tractors. In general, most farmers have enjoyed these systems since the mid-1950s, and they certainly made farm work a bit easier. Let’s take a look at some components of this system, their functions, and some signs that it’s time to replace the part.

Tractor Hydraulic Pumps

The Tractor Hydraulic Pump acts as the heart of a tractor’s steering system. It pulls hydraulic fluid from the reservoir, pressurizes it, and delivers it to the steering control unit and cylinder to help the operator steer smoothly and efficiently. In many tractors, this same pump also powers other hydraulic features, such as loaders and the three-point hitch. 

If you notice the following signs, these can signal that you need to purchase or replace your pump with an Aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Hydraulic Pump.

• Steering becomes stiff or slow
• Hydraulic functions lose strength overall
• Whining or growling noise from the pump
• Foamy or aerated hydraulic fluid
• Visible leaks around pump seals
• Loss of hydraulic pressure

Tractor Steering Cylinders

The Mahindra Steering Cylinder converts hydraulic pressure, generated by the pump, into mechanical wheel movement. The internal pistons create linear motion, and this pushes or pulls the steering linkage and physically turns the front wheels. You may need a replacement Mahindra Power Steering Cylinder if you notice any of the following issues.

• Hydraulic fluid is leaking from the rod seals
• Uneven turning radius left vs. right
• Steering drifts or won’t hold position
• Visible scoring or rust on the cylinder rod
• Reduced steering power
• Internal bypass is causing a slow steering response

Tractor Steering Knuckles

The Steering Cylinder and Steering Knuckle work together as part of the tractor’s steering motion chain. The cylinder generates movement using hydraulic pressure, while the knuckle allows that movement to physically turn the wheels. If you notice the following issues, it may be time to replace this part.

• Loose or wandering steering
• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Clunking or popping noises when turning
• Visible bending, cracking, or excessive rust
• Difficulty maintaining wheel alignment
• Excessive play in the front wheels

Keep in mind that worn bushings or bearings inside the Steering Knuckle can cause similar symptoms. Additionally, when a Steering Cylinder fails, it can accelerate wear on related components, including Steering Knuckles, Tie Rods, Steering Arms, and Bushings. Addressing cylinder issues early can help prevent damage to other steering parts and reduce repair costs.

Tractor Hydraulic Control Valves

This valve is essential because it provides steering precision and regulates hydraulic pressure and flow. This valve also protects hydraulic components from pressure spikes. If you notice the following issues, your valve may be failing.

• Jerky or inconsistent steering
• The steering wheel turns, but the wheels respond slowly
• Tractor drifts left or right
• Hydraulic fluid leaks near the steering column or valve body
• Hard steering in one direction only
• Whining or pressure fluctuations in the hydraulic system

While we can provide you with a quality Aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Hydraulic Control Valve, we also stock a Hydraulic Control Valve Repair Kit. This kit includes the internal seals, springs, valves, and wear components needed to rebuild or restore proper function to a tractor’s Hydraulic Control Valve. This can be a much more affordable option than replacing the valve. 

Over time, contamination, pressure fluctuations, and normal wear can cause internal valve components to leak, stick, or lose pressure control. Replacing these internal components helps restore proper hydraulic flow, pressure regulation, and steering or implement performance without requiring full valve replacement.

While we offer many quality Aftermarket Mahindra Hydraulic Parts and Aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Power Steering Parts, a Hydraulic Filter is another item that tractor owners often need, and if you need a high-quality Aftermarket Mahindra Hydraulic Filter, we carry these as well as other crucial Aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Filters.
