| Newbie looking for info on converting a WD narrow front to PS. Its a reverse WD loader, has crank-driven pump for loader. I can get some parts from a combine PS system, that used cylinders to steer, but can i just use a regular orbit motor to drive the steering shaft where the cylinders would plumb in, or different type of motor? Is there a better place to ask this question? thanks |

I have the same loader set-up with a crank driven pump on a WC. When I bought it there was a Char-Lynn in-line power steering set-up, it's about 3" in diameter and 10" long. The shaft going to the front end was shortened and this unit put in there. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

| Thanks, do you have any pics available? is it just the inline unit, like a power assist? just supply and return to the pump and reservoir? |

 When When I bought the loader the narrow front pedestal was junk and when I replaced it I didn't put the power back in. I'm going to use it this way and see how I like it. Here's a pic of the unit with the 2 hoses. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

Forgot to say it is an in-line assist from the pump to reservoir. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

It's aftermarket. My loader was reversed by a company in Morris MN about 30 years ago, they added the pump, reservoir and steering. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |
