There was a time i did not like power steering . In my youth not much had power steering . The old Farm trucks did not have it and from the age of 12 i managed driving them old 2 ton Chevy's and dodges in soft ground hauling taters out of the fields with a full old , when i took my driving test it was done in a 55 Chevy with a 6 cylinder , three on the tree and no power steering and nailed the parell parking the first try . Then came my First car not the one i wanted but the one m,y Mother insisted on me buying as she knew the ORg owner a little old lady school teacher she had in High school And that car was a 56 Ford Fairlane rag top with a 292 T bird Special with a Fordamatic and POWER Steering i learned to hate that car. Not only the power steering but the slush box BUT we had to make it go faster and quicker . Next up with the 61 Ford Sunliner and it had NO POWERFUL STEERING and it steered just fine , then came me starting to drive the mighty B61 Mack ah yep NO powerful Steering on that puppy and now two gear shift levers to play with . and on into the seventy's when i 74 i got the first semi with power steering and ya had no feeling for the road an with the NO feeling of the road you could get your donkey in a world of hurt real fast on bad roads as you could not feel them ft tires telling you hey wait ah min. here it is getting real slippery real fast . My 1954 Farmall S/MTA does not have it and up till three years ago i did not need it BUT NOW after the Dr. went and sliced and diced on me we no longer can throw a 150 # wheel weight up into a 4X4 Pick up like a frissbe and it has become a chore just dragging in a 40# box of Cat litter in the house. NOW i need POWERFUL STEERING .

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit.
