[QUOTE="wizard, post: 3673, member: 185"] I need some help to steer in reverse. I can actually back up, but my left side is weak it yells back at me loud. I had it up on blocks........ let me start at the begaining. It all started when my 731 died on me. I didn't have any hydraulics compleatly dead. I thought it was my pump, so i removed it and was not happy with what i found. The yolk on the eng. side, and the adapter on the pump side were toast, the yolk was compleatly round, and the adapter splines looked no better. After replacing both reinsalled the pump. This is where my steering problem appeared, I had no steering from left to right in either direction. I had it up on blocks to adjust my steering, got both sides to nuetral, it could get no better, so I thought. After taking off blocks I was testing my luck. I have good luck with the right side, but only 1/2 luck with the left side. It feels weak when I try to steer back with the left lever, foward works fine. This is where I need TAZZAS help it's a 731 relic, could it be my left motor going bad or my reverse replenishing valve for same side. Can the replenishing valve be removed without removing the pump again. As the steering lever linkage are in the way. Exactly which side, of the pump would the valve be. If I'm not mistaken one hose crosses over to both motors. Thanks beforehand. [/QUOTE]
