[AT] Case D Industrial

[Herbert Metz]

Unless you are wanting to keep the tractor stock, a Char-Lynn power
steering retrofit is probably less costly and much easier to do.  Just
remove approx nine inch portion of steering shaft, insert the Char-Lynn
torque generator (small than a quart jar),  add a power steering pump and
resorvoir from a small old pickup, connect the two hoses to both, crank it
up, and that is it.
Small fork lifts are a likely source for the Char-Lynn torque generator.
