Looking at pictures of a D10 series I with the live lift option the hydraulic pump and reservoir looks a lot like some of the D12 series III I’ve seen pictures of with modified power (hydrostatic) steering. Will this series I unit work on the D12series III to supply power for hydrostatic steering? I would also need an orbit valve and ram plus hoses and brackets to mount ram. I’m just not sure if the series I live power lift unit will bolt up to the D12 and if this idea will even work. I saw a post on the forum from Andrew that had a modified steering on a D12 - I think. Looks great. Not sure how it is powered. My D12 series III has steering problems. I found all the parts I need except the worm gear. My worm gear will still work but has a lot of wear visible. I know it’s just a matter of time before I have more trouble. I’m looking for other options to replace the steering. I was hoping for some advice. All discussion is greatly appreciated. Thanks Avery. |

The worm gear is spin welded to steering shaft. You can have a good tool and cutter grinder shop, true up the grooves in the worm. Shouldn't take a lot to true them up. Then dress the rotating pin to same size of groove in worm. Should take care of most all the problems. HTH Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

| Thanks. To help my feeble mind understand the process - the worm grooves would be cut slightly larger until they are uniform. The rotating pin would have to be “built up” and then turned down to fit the worm gear? |

 This is a picture of the D10 series I live lift option pump and reservoir. Do you think this will bolt up on a D12 series III and can be used to power improvised hydrostatic steering ? |

To answer the question that you’re asking: yes everything will bolt up from a D10 ont your D12. The blocks are the same for both tractors and the hydraulic is the same PSI and flow that you need for a light duty hydrostatic power steering system. ------------- 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 |

Thanks Paul. I was not sure. I have not been able to cross reference these later model D12’s with the pump shown in the picture. Now I have to decide if I want to invest this much in the tractor. Thanks again. |

  These are a couple pictures posted to the forum by Andrew I referred to earlier. I believe this is a series II and wasn’t sure if this same setup would work on the series III. Anyway thanks again Paul. |
