    Power Steering Possibility?

    Yeah that would work too..... Man I can't wait to pick up my deuce so i can walk outside and really know exactly what you guys are talking.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    That's the easy part I would think cut a chunk out of the shaft and then figure out what the od of the shaft is, slide bearings with pillow blocks on before welding the couplers on and then some brackets to the frame.

    Toms kit is $1000 more then that..... Not saying that's bad.... i think a servo system could be made for around $800 to $900

    Power Steering Possibility?

    Just got home from a flyers game and while I was sitting in traffic for an hour in the way there, I went through looking at the Woodward steering website. You might be on to something with that steering servo..... It it would be a simple install, and possibly very closely mimic full hydraulics...

    I think with the servo your still gonna have problems timing the systems to work together. I think the best as listed #1 ross/saginaw box #2 torque generator #3 air assist #4 full hydro system

    But the time you buy that servo you might as well just buy a ross box, these guys are pretty much right.... You might save a bit at first but I think the steering box is the better route in the long run..... i forgot to post my findings I'll do that this afternoon.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    I don't think anyone ever said it was better, and I'm not arguing with you. Ross boxes are still out there and from what information I have gathered all the rebuilders say that the ross box is far superior then the saginaw 710. I do believe I'm going to go with the ross box myself buy I'm not...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    I can get pictures of our jockey truck Monday, the garbage trucks I'll see if my buddy can get pictures, I know where I used to work, we had a customer berks products, search them on the internet..... Large concrete company that had probably close to 30 Osh Kosh cement trucks that had full...

    What's the difference, blow a brake line and some one is getting hurt or killed..... I see nothing wrong with a torque generator.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    Wrong sir, I can show you pictures of garbage trucks and jockey trucks that are road legal in pa and go through a semi annual inspection with full hydraulic systems. There is nothing wrong with a torque generator. I called and talked to eastern about this the other day, and they said they have...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    Ok so I'm waiting on few call backs yet.... But the ross boxes are still out there. I only found one place that would sell a used box and they still wanted $400 shipped. I will make a complete list tonight when I get done work with numbers and websites but a remaned box is gonna cost $550 at the...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    Ok so I did a bunch more research today searching different ways such as ross/trw and different numbers and makes and models that a ross hf54 came in..... I found about 10 places that sell them but they all say call for pricing.... I'm assuming that's not good lol but I'm hoping to nab one for...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    Idk for what I can get a torque generator for and make my own hoses I'm gonna try it. Pump will be used again if the torque generator doesn't work out.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    That's another thing ones I did find for reasonable price for $400 to $500 they wanted a core and a core charge was $500 i am looking at a torque generator now that has a power assist output which gives you a option to run auxiliary hydraulics, but that would almost defeat the purpose of the...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    $1000 I have no problem spending..... I've searched ross hf54 ross power steering ross steering box I've searched part numbers grumbel posted and I called a few places some had the phone disconnect or changed numbers. i only know of one big truck junk yard within a 45 minute drive from my...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    I'm not saying that all.... But spending $2500 to $3000 for a power steering system is rediculous. Let's face it that's another truck.... I'm not really looking for the garrison setup is rather a saginaw box or a ross box but like I said I can't find one..... Some help this site is when...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    The other problem I see with using a steering box such as ross or saginaw is now your modifying drag links and pitman arms which adds to more cost on top of the box and hoses and pump

    Power Steering Possibility?

    I'd like to see where cause I have been searching all week and called a few places to no avail. There are other members on here who also say the same thing. If I remember correctly even m35tom said it in a post.

    Power Steering Possibility?

    This is true.... but some of these power steering threads I've read are 4 and 5 years old. I'm having no luck finding a ross steering box. I'm still considering piggy backing a orbital valve to the steering shaft and linking the two with a chain the. Running a ram off the axle .... the drag...

    Power Steering Possibility?

    Ok m35tom and gringel might be thinking right to a extent I have found a few posts on tractor forums where they say they are hard on steering boxes but then again these are farm tractors that's are 60+ years old in all reality it doesn't matter where you put a hydraulic assist it's going to hard...
