power steering
48bomber:
Hey All!
Hope everyone is getting some use of your machines this winter!
We have been out many times to the lake for ice fishing. No fish but the trip out and back is fun!
In the General topic in #2 we had talked about power steering .I want to put it in my 48 narrow guage. There was coments it had been done on wide guage. Can we get some Ideas flowing out there , and a pic if possible what might work? I did some looking at pumps . but dont know enough what is needed.
Help please!!

Like they say....a picture is worth a thousand words. It would be nice to see how much trouble is involved into doing it. I wonder if you took out that gear on the floor, fitted in a push/pull cylinder & then cut off the steering column & install a rotary valve like Dpaulson did on his rebuild ?? You will still have to install a power steering pump on your engine.

OT
I think you are on the right track. I dont want to cut out the original gear etc , unless I am sure the modification will work. I think it will require alot of hyd force on a small cylinder to turn the skis . It is hard to turn on tight trails in our area the way it is set up with the gear system.
How is yours doing ? Ready for wood yet?
