51 R18 Rebuild
dpaulson:
I called it a hand pump because it is known in these parts as a hand pump. It really should be called a steering control valve. This control valve is connected to the power steering pump also. I have it hooked up now. There is 5 3/4 turns of the steering wheel to go from extreme left to extreme right. It can turn the skis while the machine is at rest while it is sitting on concrete floor. I don't know if it can do the same in snow where the ski runners are dug into the snow, but it should work fine while moving.

Thanks for the learning experience. I know I'm never too old to learn.
A smarter OT.
