One finger power steering is awesome! Thanks so much, Roland.

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 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!

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.

This is how a Torque Generator will look when installed on a John Deere G.  At Jackson Power Steering we have the Torque Generator to give your tractor power steering.  Call Roland Jackson for details at 620-357-6546.

Hi Roland,

I am very happy with the PS unit you provided.  My 300 U is a pleasure to drive now that it has PS. Thank you!
The loader works well too.  All of your advice and help is appreciated!
I hope you are doing well.

Take Care,

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!

Hi Roland, just letting you know I finally got around to installing the power steering on the 300u and it works great.  It’s like a whole different tractor and I just wanted to say thanks.

This my Ford 860.  Still working hard at 57 years old!  The power steering is so nice to have!
