 Topic: Reverse WD Power steering
Posted: 02 May 2010 at 10:28am |
|
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.

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.

Forgot to say it is an in-line assist from the pump to reservoir.

It's aftermarket. My loader was reversed by a company in Morris MN about 30 years ago, they added the pump, reservoir and steering.

On the YT classifieds there is a Char-Lynn power steering set-up for a WD/WD45 that is belt drive off the generator for $350 in Garden City MN.
