Description

There’s nothing worse than fighting the steering wheel when you’re trying to make tight turns at headlands or maneuvering around the farmyard with a loader. Power steering problems rarely appear suddenly – they develop gradually until you can’t ignore them anymore. Early symptoms include steering that feels heavy when cold but improves as fluid warms up. Visible fluid leaks around the steering ram are obvious signs, but internal seal failure can be just as problematic. This complete seal kit restores your power steering ram to like-new condition, bringing back the fingertip control that makes long days manageable.

What You’re Getting

Complete seal set to rebuild your power steering cylinder – no hunting for individual parts
High-quality seals designed for agricultural hydraulic service and pressure cycles
Direct replacement components that restore original steering performance
Seals engineered to withstand years of pressure cycles, temperature extremes, and fluid contamination

Built for Real Farm Work

This seal kit works with a wide range of Ford New Holland tractors equipped with Carraro front axles, from smaller utility models to larger row-crop machines. Whether you’re operating a 5610 on hay ground, running a 6610 with a loader, or handling heavy tillage with a 7610, these tractors see demanding conditions that put stress on steering systems. The Carraro front axle design provides the four-wheel drive capability these machines need for challenging field conditions.

Made to Last

Each seal is manufactured from materials that resist hydraulic fluid breakdown while maintaining flexibility through millions of steering cycles. These aren’t cheap aftermarket seals that fail in a season – they’re built to handle the heat, pressure, and contamination that comes with real farm work. Quality construction means you’re doing this job once, not every couple of years.

Installation Notes

Rebuilding a power steering ram requires cleanliness and attention to detail for success. Start by thoroughly cleaning the external ram before disassembly – contamination entering during rebuild causes immediate seal failure. Install new seals using proper seal installation tools – improvised tools damage seals before they’re even in service. Lubricate all seals with clean hydraulic fluid during assembly. Pay careful attention to seal orientation; installing backwards guarantees failure. Take your time and do it right the first time.
