It's probably a preCase David Brown with power assist steerring. The pooched pump
is no longer available. Take the assist ram off the drag link and your good to go.

I have had two tractors with the char-lyn steering assist orbital motors. They both leaked terrible, rebuild is just under the cost of new (500-600$). I just remove the unit and cut a 7/8 rod and patched in the steering rod and have manual steering. I like the char-lyn system but cost is just unreasonable in my opinion. gobble

I had a MF 35, 1960's timeline. Pulled the steering assist hyd cylinder off the steering arm and forget what I did about the pump V belt. Anyway it
steered as you would expect with a non assisted steering tractor of the size. On a Ford I had a bad pump and wanted steering so I went to a junk yard
and found a Ford Pinto steering pump and installed it. Problem was I didn't realize that the 4000 4 cyl Ford had a piston on each steering arm and the
Pinto only had one cylinder for steering.....had to be at PTO rpms to get any kind of usable steering speed.....course a V belt and pulley ratio change
could have changed that but looking into that it wasn't mechanically practical given the space available and I don't know how the pump would have
reacted to high speeds..
