I have a D6N that will not turn left or right. It will steer right in reverse and machine will move forward and backward.
Lots of D6N versions out there. post a SER #.
Also it would help if you indicated whether your tractor is a steering clutch & brake (fingertip controls) machine or a differential steer (tiller handle).
Serial # DJY00981 and differential steer
Has this steering problem appeared seemingly from nowhere or has there been a problem for a while with difficult steering that has got worse & worse over time to the point you're at now.? Also, on the digital window of the Monitor System, is the SERV CODE icon lit up all the time.? I know it will come on when you first turn on the key but after the self-test of the panel it should go off. Does it.?
No service light staying on and it happened all at once. we replaced a hydraulic line that was leaking filled it back up with hydraulic fluid and the problem started.
With those symptoms it would appear that the steering hydraulic system could have air in it somewhere. Was the hose you replaced on the steering.?
Yes it was one of the hoses that came off the valve for steering. In that case how can the air be removed.
Sorry I can't suggest anything off the top of my head apart from slightly loosening one end of the hose that you replaced then with the engine idling & transmission in neutral slowly move the steering tiller from the centre in one direction and see if you get any air out. CARE is needed because there will be oil under pressure in that hose.
Can the Tractor do a spin turn, the steering system as you possibly know is high pressure hydraulic activation via the swing motor, if a gear in the steering hubs has failed you can usually detect some small amount of movement left or right turn forward or backwards, on a spin turn the transmission is doing nothing just the steering system doing the work. tctractors
