Mac, I see your point. The single pump on the 444 is 7.6gpm as is my front (lift) pump. My steering cylinder/setup is totally different than the 444 but why would it require more flow than the 444's setup? I mean, if my lift pump is 7.6gpm, and I have a totally seperate pwr. strg. pump it seems my lift pump at 7.6gpm wouldn't be enough to handle the pwr. strg. duties and the lift. If it could, why did IH use a seperate pwr. strg. pump? But a 7.6gpm pump on the 444 handles both duties. You see what I am saying? I just hate to march out and buy a new 444 pump for $250 (will bolt right up to my 364) and a $70 adjustable priority flow valve, only to plumb it all and see it doesn't work correctly. I found an adj. priority flow divider valve in a hyd. catalog that says it's for "use in applications where 2 circuits are to be supplied by a single pump such as power steering systems. Inlet flow is divided into 2 flows: priority flow remains CONSTANT, excess flow to another circuit. Priority flow is adj from 2-14gpm". Sounds like it will work if the 7.6gpm pump is up to the task.
