CABLE OVER HYDRAULIC STEERING

I HAVE JUST STARTED USIND A FORD 50'S 1871 INDUSTRIAL TRACTOR. THE STEERING IS A CABLE OVER HYDRAULIC SET UP. IT DOESN'T WORK WELL AT ALL. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THIS SYSTEM WORKS. IT SEEMS THE CABLE ONLY PUSHES A SMALL SHAFT ABOUT A 1/4" EITHER WAY AND THEN IF THERE IS NO RESISTANCE THEN IT "MAY" MOVE TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THERE IS NO HISTORY TO THE PROBLEM SINCE I GOT IT THAT WAY. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START ON THE PROBLEM OR IF THERE IS A WAY TO SWITCH IT OVER TO REGULAR STEERING.
