Hello,
I am wondering if Behlen 2041-18 is the correct torque generator for a '57 Farmall 450. If not, what is the correct Behlen number? My Case/IH Personal SupportPRO shows 365423R93 as the correct one. When I Google search it, it shows Behlen Power Steering Unit for an M. I believe the power steering on my 450 is an add-on, because the steering wheel isn't the power steering type. My grandpa had problems with the power steering when he put a loader on it, so he replaced the priority valve on it. It didn't fix the problem. Neither did taking off the loader. The fluid levels are fine. When I inherited the tractor, I also inherited the problems. Today I found that I have an extra Behlen 2041-18 pump and am wondering if it will work on my tractor. Does anyone have any other suggestions. My grandpa also out a wide front on. If I put the narrow front back on, would that help. I have used tractors with no power steering that steer easier. It almost seems like the power steering is working against me. What else besides the priority valve affects pressure flow? On another YTMag forum, it was stated "If you take a behlen powersteering unit and put it on a tractor that did not have power steering you won't be able to do it. There is a flow divider valve that is not present on your tractor. If it was there you don"t want to do it anyway." Does anyone agree? He goes on "What you do if your mechanically not all that good is take an eaton pump from a char lynn system and mount it up front to power your behlen unit." Should I try this? Any advice would be appreciated
