HSE said: (quoted from post at 06:02:39 04/04/09) Bought a 400 farmall that somebody previously removed the Power Steering Unit (believe it was a behlen unit) in the steering shaft. My question is "What do I need to do to hydraulic system to run this tractor?" Do I: A: Loop hydraulic feed and return together? B: Plug off both of them? C: Remove a spring or priority valve or flow divider somewhere? Not sure about A ..... will it cause other hydarulics not to work? I figure B is wrong because flow will be deadheaded. I have no idea about which internal valve to do what to on C. I have a short piece of shaft already in place of where motor unit was. I also do plan on someday adding a power steering unit back in place. Serial number is #6556 if this makes a difference. Thanks for any help!

If it was an add on Behlen, they were independent from the tractor hydraulics and you don't need to change anything. The Behlen had its own pump, reservoir, plumbing, and of course the torque generator.
