Parts do I need to replace my steering shaft with a hydraulic setup? I am not doing a full hydro set up, I just want to get rid of my steering shaft. Thanks

What are you asking? I am very lost. YOur steering shaft goes from the steering wheel to the steering box. If you do not have that, then you are into the full hydrostatic stuff. Hyrdo assist uses the same steering setup as stock, but adds a cylinder and lines. CHeck out the tech section here on pirate.

i would'nt want to hijack your post but i think were looking for the same information here...

i have to build a complete hydro setup to run 42'', i know little in hydraulic & would like to do the right move the 1st time, what kind of info do we need, what kind of pump, valve, ....

heard i need a 1.5 double cylinder, i know psc looks to be THE supplier for all the gizmo but is there any model, spec, or other things i need to know before i invest 1000/1500$ in a system


thanks

Go to the tech section of BilVistas. He has an article there all about hydrostatic steering. Read that as many times as you can until you understand that. Then use the search button and search for pictures/desriptions of setups. There are hunderds here on pirate. Then call Station here on pirate4x4. He will set you up 100% with the best stuff that you need.

As for a full hydro setup. usally a 2 or a 2.5 inch double ended ram is comman. Then a new, high output high pressure power steering pump. Then a steering valve. The steering valve is critical, as there are TONS of options. Like return to center, hydralic bypass port, how many turn left to right, steering after the pump is shut off(engine dead steering), etc... PM Station after you read all of Bilvistas tech articles on the subject. I talked with Sean(station) for a few hours BEFORE I placed an order. He is VERY good at what he does.

man, i've found it, i'm so computer impaired, its crazy, been looking for that tech right up for months, now i've found it, thanks


i'll print that tech article & read it few times....

Maybe this is something for you? :)
