hydraulic steering

[dmaxalliTech]

What are you guys using for electric pumps and steering rams? Assuming you didnt want to use a ready made kit, what works?

 

[DISTURBED]

hydraulic system off a pickup dump bed or a hay bed

 

[dmaxalliTech]

dual ram cylinder or single?

 

[DISTURBED]

neither i still run the stock steering box with all the stock linkage just pressurized one side and returned from the other just like the stock power steering pump did

for this application, I want to remove all the stock linkage.

I used a lift gate pump and the stock steering box as well. I have a friend that went to a tractor junk yard and got the steering valve and wheel, the hydraulic cylinder, and the belt driven pump from the engine and put it on his gasser mod truck. If I remember right all this came off a combine and it was less than $200. His only uses one hyd cyl and it is mounted where the steering damper used to be. It works pretty well.

Charlyn is good stuff for brand new, orbital valve off a tractor works, a lift gate pump with 12 volt battery power works.....
