I bought an all-hydraulic replacement for this system today. It was at
some point damaged by water and rust and was beyond repair.
glad you can find parts.
i have an old hyster, no parts available. When it breaks, its scrap.
Got a DEAL on an international backhoe. Found out i couldn't get parts
so i sent it on down the road before i got caught with it.
I'm surprised you can get anything for a tow motor.
This is my second towmotor. I can get some parts. This hydraulic
steering replacement is a very universal item.
Likely fits an early Ford car or pickup truck too.
Highly unlikely and not street legal. Iggy is talking about an
all-hydraulic steering system as typically found on construction
equipment. No mechanical link between the steering wheel and the wheels,
just hydraulic hoses.
If it is a full power steering unit instead of a power assist, the
job gets a LOT easier. Lots of "generic" parts availability.
I thought he said it had a steering box AND external cyls.
He did say he COULD steer it, but it took a lot of force the one way.
With a full power system you cannot "armstrong" it.With a power assist
you can - which also led me to believe he was talking about the power
ASSISTED steering system
