Power steering coupler

Keith in Iowa · Jul 15, 2008

Does anybody know where I can buy a swivel coupler that connects a Char-linn power steering pump output shaft to the steering shaft?

How about a "weld-a-joint" "U" joint to which you weld the appropriate hub to either side?

The space under the hood is pretty tight. I know they made a coupler for this,just haven't been able to run across one.

DO NOT weld a U-joint onto the torque motor, GET the proper flex type joint or get a keyed double ended 7/8" smooth bore u-joint that would be pinned to both the motor and steering shaft.If you weld a U-joint onto the torque motor, it will prevent the motor to be taken apart if it ever needed to be rebuilt, and the heat from welding will ruin the seals in the torque motor unit causing it to leak. The CharLynn couplers can be found from places such as: Bates Corp, Steiners Tractors, and ebay.

Here are 2 different types of couplers that I found on ebay a few minutes ago.

#1 - This is the typical CharLynn coupler used. It is ebay item #330251870169.

#2 - This is a smooth bore double ended keyed type U-Joint that will also do the job. It is ebay item #320222084550.

Thanks Mike, The one in the top picture is the one I was looking for.

Keith,

I couldn't find one for my M either. So, I got a couple of those CAT I to CAT II adaptors, got the shafts/motor lined up real good, drilled some 5/16" holes and used roll pins.

Works good.

Yepper,

Wrapped the last bale at 9:42 am yesterday. Good thing too; a huge pounding rain at 5:30. :>)

Now, to spend 2 or 3 days hauling it all in. :>(
