Recently, I installed Power Steering on an 860 Ford tractor. This particular tractor came with factory power steering. However, the steering quit working and the owner took off the steering cylinders and tried to steer it manually…which was almost impossible to do. So, I converted the JPS steering cylinders to accommodate the original drag rod that came out with all of the factory power steering tractors. And I used an automotive power steering pump to power the steering unit. I am pleased to report that the steering is effortless now…and this 860 Ford runs like a dream! Only thing left is a paint job to get it all prettied up! Owner is a happy camper!
