John Cherven’s 8N

It was enjoyable to build a power steering kit for John Cherven’s 8N Ford Tractor with Wagner Loader. I am so proud of the detailed restoration! I think everyone will agree, John, you did a great job on your 8N Ford!

Doug Brinkerhoff’s 8N

Doug Brinkerhoff contacted me regarding power steering for his 8N that his grandfather bought in 1950.  This family heirloom has been passed down several generations and now it is Doug’s turn to own it!  Doug sent me a picture, as a kid, standing in front of the 8N.  He was two years old and the year was 1963.

Doug has restored his 8N, placed a loader on it…and, of course, added a Jackson Power Steering unit. Doug writes, “Roland, thanks for all your help with this!”

I want to thank Doug for sending me the pictures with his kind comments.  It gives me so much pleasure to know that I have helped make a family heirloom, such as Doug’s 8N, useable and to know that it will be passed down to generations to come!

Jim Gerhardson’s ’56 Ford 850

Hey Roland, I am finished with the power steering unit and absolutely love it!!! Used the ’86 Chevy power steering pump and standard hoses from Fleet Farm. I did have to have one hose made at our John Deere Dealer for the pressure line from the pump to the control unit but besides that, everything was very easy and simple to do. I painted the kit besides the hoses and is barely noticeable as an aftermarket unit. I appreciate all the help and look forward to getting some work done around the farmstead. I am the 4th generation to have this tractor since it was new. My great grandfather owned the Ford Implement Dealership in Paynesville, MN and took this tractor straight off the trailer and into his personal shop. My grandfather used the tractor to farm. My father used it logging in college to build his log cabin in Northern Minnesota and originally I used the tractor to start my landscaping company in Fargo, ND. It was the only piece of equipment I had. After 6 years, it was time to retire her from landscaping (I have skid steers for that now) and restore it. All in all I am very happy and can’t believe I waited so long to do this.

Edgar Black’s John Deer 1050

Roland,

Got everything finished up late yesterday afternoon. It is absolutely amazing how well the tractor steers now! It was practically impossible to turn the wheels when the tractor was stopped but with your steering unit i can use one finger and turn the wheels all day long! It was too late in the day when I finished it up yesterday to do any work but I can’t wait for the weekend to put the steering unit through it’s paces. Thanks so much for all of your help!
