Old Tractor Subject.... :)

Got this old tractor, it really doesn't matter the make.

I want to put power steering on the old sow using one of those Char-Lynn actuator/orbital motor gizmos.

Just acquired a live pump (no valving just a straight gear pump), which is driven by the timing gears, but all I wanna do is to run that power steering motor gizmo; heck with anything else.

I want to plumb into that Char-Lynn, thru and out to the can.

Do I need to have some kind of a pressure release or a pressure proiority valve thing? Those that use auto pumps don't 'cause they are built in on those types.

Okay, I know you all know the answer to this and if you don't answer me back, I'll assume you're still torqued off at me about my not wanting to go vote or some such thing. :>)

Thanks,

Allan

LOL!!!!!

Atta boy, good attitude for it bein' so darned early in the morning!

My wife keeps tellin' me that I spend too much time talkin' to my tractor buddies. Goofy woman anyway! :>)

But then you are a pretty good sort so perhaps squeezing in one tractor question won't precipitate serious criticism.

Char-lynn torque generators used on older tractors are rated from 3 to 6 gpm at max 1000 psi.

There is no relief valve in the torque generator, hyd circuit is off-center/followup and the rotating element. You will need a relief in the piping or the pump.

There is torque generator info at the bottom of the page at the link. A common torque generator found on older tractors is the 217 series 3.5 gpm unit.
