With about 12 working hours on it too, trouble free. Here are some pics and description... to get the full begining of the story click here
The hydraulic pump, the heart of the system. Also the mounting plate I had the machine shop make so that it would fit tight on the pump.
The crankshaft pulley, machined out of solid steel for longevity. Difficult to fit, but it works with a short roll pin driven in from each side. Same hole as used for hand crank to engage in. If I were to do it over I would have this pulley welded to the stock pulley.
Pump mounted on tractor, used extra H frame rail to build the mount onto. This worked good. The belt tightens with a bolt through the hole in the timing cover, pump is hinged at bottom of bracket.
A couple of shots of the torque motor for the power steering.
All done. Power steering works great, 1 finger to turn the wheel. Live hydraulic works perfect! It is faster than the belly pump by a few GPM, just what I wanted. B section smooth belt slips a little bit when the hydraulic cylinder reaches the end - cogged B section wouldn't. I have the relief valve set as low as possible on spool valve...
The hoses are what look like a nightmare on the tractor, the pump hanging out to the side isn't really pretty either - but this makes for a very useful and user-friendly machine.
