Default 2072 Steering

My son just called me. He has a 2072 which has Power Steering. Recently, he is experiencing an issue with the PS. He claims it is an "intermittent" issue, where it works sometimes and then does not. It is random and temperature has no bearing on it. He has checked all the mechanical linkages and that is all OK. When it works, it works as usual. What might be the problem ??

Well.
---- lack of pressure,---- but no mention of hydro malfunction.
---- pressure going by the piston in the ram cyl.
-----pump ( steering gear) malfunction. (not common)
The charge pump powers hydraulics, and steering has priority over the implement lift.
is the filter clean? stupid question for you I know.
if it was a constant condition, I'd put a pressure gauge on and check line pressure to the gear.
just sell it to me, as a "ran when parked" lew price
Does it get jerkey or just lack assist sometimes?
Does actuating the deck lift and holding it in the up position while malfunctioning, correct the problem?
just some ideas, others will help I'm sure.

The Hydraulic Lift and motion of the tractor, according to him, is not effected.

I would bet the lift is effected when the problem occurs,, he just hasn't noticed it,, yet,,

When the steering acts up, move the hydraulic lift lever,, and hold it,, as in the cylinder is at the end of its travel, and continue holding it,,

What does the steering do, when the lift lever is held ??

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
