I have a 2004 farmpro 20hp diesel with steering difficulty

I'm trying to get some info on how I can fix the problem with the steering on my tractor. The steering wheel has a lot of play,it just spins until its bottoms out.

Very common problem; steering cylinder bypass. Cylinder repair kits are readily available and not difficult to install. Little messy, but otherwise pretty straightforward. Kits available at most reputable Chinese tractor dealers.

Thanks greg g. for the ifnfo on the steering problem I am having; I took everything apart and found that I have a manual steering box on the tractor. I discovered that the bearings in the box had worn loose due to a dry steering box. It looks like I'll have to replace the complete steering box or replace the inner moving parts. Right now I'am weigthing the cost for each. THANKS AGAIN ....

Ah, too bad we didn't know that up front. Manual steering is rare compared to the number of imports that came with hydraulic steering. So finding a steering box in a boneyard might be challenging - but not impossible. The same manual box is used across the Jinma 200 Series. So you don't have to limit your search strictly to a scrapped FarmPro. Otherwise a new one will run about $350.

If however, you would rather rebuild your current steering box, I have an exploded diagram of the manual steering - with individual part numbers. But I can't upload it to this site. You'll have to contact me via private message, so I can get your email address.
