Leak at top of steering column - orbitrol

Post #1 by Corranaheen » Tue Jun 16, 2020 10:19 pm

Trying to find source of fluid leak at top of steering column I discovered the power steering valve was leaking and filling the steering column which eventually leaked out the top. Removed the offending valve, is its proper name an orbitrol? Anyway it is a danfoss and the only remaining number was 0471 cast in the casing. Can anyone give me a better idea of what to source to replace it. I am assuming most dumpers of this vintage were similar. 4t Compair Holman
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Does your orbital pump look like this one?

They look a straight forward type of pump. Seals should be readily available from a bearing service shop or a hydraulic shop.
