looking to buy

[boatmoter]

Hi, looking for a power steering (assist) cylinder (assembly) for a 1965 - 1970 Ford 3500 industrial tractor with 5/8 rod. Ford OE # is C5NN3A540B . I don't have a core. Cylinder was missing when I bought tractor

One possibility: SHOCK ABSORBER C5NN3A540B - New.Holland | AVSpare.com

According to the Messick's website, the part is discontinued so you may have to find a used one and rebuild it if necessary.

I have no problem building one. I have tried loads of tractor salvage yards across the USA. starting with Weavers and 2 more in PA

yes, Wengers was one of the first I tried. I thought I found one from a reply I got from a parts hot line but it was for a Ford 4000, that won't work. has to be a 3500 1965-1970, a 3550 (1972 only). or a 4100, 1965-1970,also has to have the 5/8" rod, not the 1/2"

UPDATE. gave up on finding a cylinder for this tractor so I did not buy it. I did run across another tractor and bought it, it does need a little work but the price was cheap. $1800.. it's a 69 MF 20, with the Perkins 45 HP gas 3 cylinder engine. has shuttle shift & PTO
