Has anyone put power steering on a CA? If so how did you do it? What type of parts did you use and where did you get them? ------------- Doc |

| Maybe try the 12 volt set up like the Tractor Doctor did in Red Power magazine? |

I've always wondered how hard it would be to adapt a 60s-70s Ford car system with the separate control valve and ram. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

| Some one posted pics a long time ago of a CA that had the torque generator inside the tool box under the fuel tank. |

WHY? I went thru the steering on my CA, fixing bad bearings and getting things lubed and set up right, and with a belly mower hanging under it, I can steer with one finger while moving. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Go look at the power steering on a old "A" Gleaner combine it has all the parts to convert your C to power steering. ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

The ROSS steering box on a CA is marginal at best, adding a torque generator in front of the tractor steering box is just asking it to fail. The only reason a CA should have a need for power steering, would be if you have a loader on it. Then you should consider a full hydrostatic system such as what an I-40 has. After that you will be breaking front wheel spindles. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |
