was it a big job to up date the steering ?

Very well done install and video. I just finished doing the same upgrade to my IH 300U. The Ford 960 is next on the list. I also got my cylinders from Surplus Center.

The hardest part was all the research and sourcing out parts. Once I had all the parts and hoses made up and a neighbor weld up a bracket for me it took about 4 hours total to do the install. That is not taking into consideration the time to disassemble all the old steering parts, maybe another hour or two.

Was it a big job? Well because the tractor originally had power assist steering and the tabs already there on the front end to mount the cylinders, no. If I would have had to fabricate my own mounting it would have been a bit more time. The fact that it runs off the front end loader hydraulics made it easier in some ways but more difficult in others. If I would have used the factory power steering pump I would not have needed the diverter valve but I was not sure if the pump I had worked so it was cheaper to go with the diverter.
Was it a satisfactory job? Absolutely! Steering with a bucket of gravel is an easy one hand operation now where it used to involve my whole upper body.
