Ford 2000 2600 3000 3600 power steering conversion kit part 3 

Thanks for the comment Ronnie. Glad the video was useful. Yours might he different?? You might get some odd effects if you turn it round?? Let me know how you get on?

Thanks for the comment. It seems I've only just found a load of comments I haven't replied to... I might do a follow up video when I'm next at my parents place.

Best of luck! It makes the tractor so much easier to drive

Thanks for the comment. It seems I've only just found a load of comments I haven't replied to... Did you do it? Were you able to adapt it?

This is true. But its a lot easier to drive it for many hours

@@lozl ich habe es ein- und wieder ausgebaut und schmiere die Vorderachse lieber 3xöfters bevor ich auf die hervorragende Wendigkeit meines 3600 (mit Frontlader) verzichte!😉💪

@@reinerspachmuller4334 that's fair enough, if it's a loader maneuvering around lots then it makes sense having more steering angle. I would have liked to have got hold of an original Ford power steering set up, but they are rare and expensive

Thats a good point and had me wondering the same for a while. But if you didn't have the link under the engine and you left the original link from the steering box on the right hand side, then you would.only have power steering on the left wheel, the right wheel would have no assistance.

@@lozl welllllllll surley the pull from say the left being pushed,, would would transfer through the steering box,,i know its only a theory but i feel im gonna try it

@@singtracks The original steering arm that remains on the left take no real force after the conversion is added. The additional hydraulic ram on the left side attaches to a point on the bell housing. When you turn the steering wheel the original steering arm only operates a hydraulic valve on the end of the ram. The force that the ram now exerts on the front wheel pushed back against the hard mount of the bell housing and not on the original steering arm. I am trying to save you a lot of work here, I can assure you that to have both sides powered by the ram yoy will need the under engine link bar

@@lozl are yes i now see it 🤭

Do you have a video of the kit in action? How do you like the system

In theory the cylinder itself would work on the other side of the tractor. The connection from the steering box to the cylinder would work but that's where the good news ends. The bracket from the cylinder to the tractor body would not work, the connection from the cylinder to the steering upright would also not work and I'm not sure about the hydraulic hose connections. I imagine it could be made to work on thebRHS but you would be looking at making quite a few parts. The most complex part to make would be the steering arm to the wheel upright as I imagine this is a forged part.
