Allan: Did You Finish M Power Steering?

This is a Charlynn setup too. Only difference is the different type bracket.

Don't know 'bout the Fords.

Take it out, push the crank pin out of the crank, set the pulley on the main pulley (it self-centers), put the pin back in the crank and then replace the setscrew. That's the easy part.

Rough part is that the fan has to be spaced out forward an inch and the shroud has to be trimmed back to allow room for the belt and pulley.

Kind of a bummer. :>(

Allan

That part is done and over. Now, it feels just like my 686 and Hydro 70's steering. Very pleased with it.

Working on the live hydraulics now. Had to order one of those auxiliary tanks for the belly sump, which just came in tonight. Hope to have that part all up and running tomorrow.

Sure like this old tractor! :>)

A round tank that screws onto the fill pipe, which gives the existing belly sump another gallon or two of oil.

Yeah, if you're going to use the live pump, you'll need to use a priority valve in the mix. Plumb the output of the pump to the "in" of the valve and then use it's "EX" (exhaust) port to feed the rest of the system.

If it is the adjustable kind, set it at 3 1/2 gallon.

Allan

What kind of pump is that on your M.

Word on the street is that lots of old Ford cars, pickups and trucks used this pump.

It's sure got a lot of snort is all I know. Handles those big tires, sitting dead still with just a little finger.
