Hello all, I have a question on my fordson super major 5000? It is a diesel, it has no power steering at the time. I added this tractor as one of my collection about 2 years ago. It runs well, just little stuff that you expect from a older tractor. Funny story , my 12 year old son now, when I got it he was 10, he has been a big part of tractors with me for a long time I started him on the lawn mowers and graduated him to N series, I bought this tractor and was not sure what I was going to do with it, he fell in love with it . it steers like a bear, , so he bugged me to keep it-- I told him if he could drive it and steer it we would keep it and restore,, man if that little bugger didnt get on it and drive it all around the meadow.... anyway I have been using it for firewood and pulling wood wagons and such for a while , "until I get to put her in the barn" I was wondering if there is a way to add power steering to her with out too many modifications if I have a cylinder,,and pump, unless I can use the hydro on the tractor. Ol dad likes my power steering, I guess my TN55 has already spoiled me. any help would be appreciated . I think I am adding a photo, it is black and white though, I was playing around and couldnt get it back to original color, (looks cool tho, I think)

I have a Ford Major. Jackson Power Steering built a power steering unit for it that I am very happy with. The unit looks factory built. It was a bit expensive, however, I think it was the best money that I have spent. If I remember right, the web page is jacksonpowersteering.com

I have a Fordson Major Gas tractor with loader on it. I would like to put power steering on it. But I don't know all of what I need to put it on. If you have any information I would like to hear from you? If you have a phone number I would like to talk to you. Thanks Don Nelson

Greetings from Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada. Currently own a 1956 Fordson Major diesel with Sherman Backhoe & Ford Front loader. As you can imagine trying to manually steer with a full front bucket is a bit of a challenge (great for building biceps). Just wondering exactly what you had on yours for the power steering set up? Do you have any pics or specs? I would like to convert mine over to power steering. Many thanks
Tony
