I have a IH Farmall 400 that was my uncles. Years back, he added a power stearing unit. It is an in-line power assist. As of yet I cannot find any numbers on the unit itself. It basically looks like a cylinder the size of a soup can. The hoses attach to the end of it and the shaft is a strait through setup. It looks like my uncle had to cut the original shaft and add this into the middle of it. It is leaking badly and I was just wondering if this was the standard method of adding the power assist. I will try and take some pictures of it when my camera decides to work. Does anybody have a clue as to what type of unit this might be? Like I said, I am still trying to find any numbers on the unit to find out who made it.

Chris - Sound like a CharLynn. The CharLynn PS kit a fairly common retrofit on M's and Super M's, and I presume also 400's.

Before you tear too deep into it make sure all the fasteners holding the PS unit together are tight (you'll need a 1/4" 12 point socket for the main body cap screws). Also make sure the hydraulic manifold attached to the side of the PS unit is clamped tight (it's held on with a pair of allen head cap screws). Sometimes these work loose - and sometimes blow out the manifold O-rings - when there's nothing otherwise wrong with the steering unit.

Replacement (new/rebuilt/used) steering motors are available, but they're kinda pricey. The model number is stamped into the end of the PS body facing the rear of the tractor if I recall correctly.
