Would like to convert to power steering with a torque generator but not sure which one is sized for the 4WD with a front loader. Can anyone give me some information on this? Thanks

Thanks Oldtink

I have looked at that and it is confusing. I thought maybe someone has done this very conversion and could help me with Eaton part numbers. Darrel

MFWD should have came from the factory with PS

Could not agree more. Does your 950 have it?

Yea Barry,

I priced a kit from JPS but would rather do it myself if I knew what generator to buy. Thanks

Yes, our 950 came with factory PS

Rock,

Could you tell me what the power steering consist of? Is it a hydraulic torque generator and/or what is the brand and model? I am not familiar with JD's set-up.

There is a used kit on ebay for $1400.
If you go to HoyeTractor.com and search "Power Steering" they have a kit that is very similar to the one that John Deere used to have for these tractors.
