Priority valve, mounted on the engine driven hydraulic oil pump.
P/N D516514
It's being controlled by the LS line coming from the orbitrol.
Worth checking if it's not blocked between orbitrol and priority valve (could be a steel line-not sure, it's been awhile since i've worked on those)

The orbitrol acts like a small pump, therefore-with drive wheels off ground_ it will deliver enough oil to steer, could be the PSI that was measured.

Pump is easily tested; when the lifting works pump is fine, the priority valve could be stuck or not getting an LS signal from teh orbitrol.
Normally a visual check of the PV is done by lifting at a steady speed, when steering the lifting motion should be decreased during steering.

Good luck!

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
