51 R18 Rebuild
dpaulson:
The steering column was shortened and a keyway cut to accept a universal joint. The pump has 2 ports, the pressure and return to tank. This is connected to the 'hand pump' with hoses going to the 2 ports nearest where the shaft goes out. The other 2 ports on the hand pump are connected to the steering cylinders.

Thanks alot. I was thinking something along them lines, but wasn't too sure. Must have been a sale on maroon paint. Looks like you have everything covered, which is good. 8) 8) ;D All I need now is a bit of glue to stick my hair back in place!!!!!
A Blushing OT.
the old trucker:
OT here.... thinking again. What would happen if you were to chafe a hose & lost your fluid ?? Would you still have any steering capabilities left ?? I mean there's no mechanical link there to the skis... is there ??
dpaulson:
No, you would be hooped. The hose is fairly thick with 2 ply steel braid. It would take more then 1 year usage to wear a hole in a hose. I suppose an annual inspection *should* alleviate any problems in that area.
