I'm new to Long tractors, and well, tractors in general. I bought a 1981 Long 510 to maintain my property. I've poured over the service manual and whatever message boards I could google and I still can't seem to figure out how to solve my problem. The The issue is that the steering doesn't work when the tractor is at idle. Above idle the steering kicks in. I've replaced the fluid, removed, cleaned, and inspected the steering ram so I think the issue must be with the steering pump. The tractor has two hydraulic pumps back to back at the front of the tractor. I can find rebuild kits and replacement pumps easily for the pump that drives the 3 point but have only been able to find one source for the pump that drives the steering at longparts. They want $380 for the pump. That's a bit rich for a $2000 tractor. I just want to verify with anyone with experience that they are indeed different pumps. Also does anyone know a source other than longparts for the steering pump or even better a rebuild kit?
Thanks in advance for you help.

Hello, stevenstractor.com has a power steering pump listed for $249.95. There is also one on eBay for the same price. Not sure if it is the same model you are looking for, but says it fits Long 510. Hope this helps some. ....

Thanks much for the tip on stevens. Somehow I missed them in my searching.
As it turns out, for those who may benefit from my search, the pump for the 3 point (TX11234) is a different pump from the hydrostatic steering pump (TX 16380 or 16569). There are two parts listed in the parts manual for the steering pump, the difference has to do with the mounting bolt spacing. One has the same spacing on both the intake and pressure side and the other the two are different.
Thx again, Scott ....
