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.

I can see, now, that it may be more dangerous on a car, compared to a
forklift.
