[AT] Tractor Hydraulics

[Robert L. Holtzer]

You might consider building up a steering system 
-- a bit costly though.  The in-line torque 
multipliers are still available ( e.g.,Char-Lynn® 
Torque Generator from Eaton).  They look 
essentially like the old Char-Lynn power steering 
units for Farmalls.  There is still the problem 
of getting a live pump system.  The choice is an 
original pump that fits into the 
magneto/distributor drive train or perhaps a belt 
driven automotive power steering pump?  I did 
some searching for a used Farmall unit last 
year.  Found 2 in the $500 range via the 
Internet.  It didn't seem worth the cost -- either new or used.
