Hi,
I recently bought my first tractor.
It's a '66 3000 with 4125 hrs., clean and dry.
It has no power steering and i do not have the intention
adding it.
On the front leftside however there is a cover plate for the drive gear for a power steering pump.
I bought the I&T Ford shop manual and found that the steering pump has 3.5 gpm @ 1000 rpm. and 650 psi.
I know that i can run a pump from the 540 RPM PTO for the splitter and the cilinder for the dump trailer etc, but can i drive this
pump by that steering pump drive on the frontside?
If so, which pump is suited for my needs?
I understand that the RPM from the PTO is always constant
but what about the RPM of that power steering gear drive ?
I already found an lot of very valuable info here but i couldn't find a solution for this particular problem.
I do apologize for my English but i'm not used to speak or write it.
Regards from Belgium and thanks in advance for the answers.
