That's a fairly simple system to rebuild. The control valve is fairly simple to rebuild with standard O-rings. The hydraulic cylinder has a couple cast piston rings like an engine and orings for sealing it. I got my rings from Hastings and am pretty sure i have some extra.

Sorry for any confusion. Yes we would like to still use this as a trailer. I was hoping to be able to find matching parts as everything bolts together easily. I understand that is becoming a long shot. If I can’t find what I need, we will have to modernize/customize the whole project. Very doable but at a much higher expense.

I have seen this truck in person it is nice and so is the B model sitting beside it

It looks like a power assist system on it. The pump is a Vickers. That just supplies the system with pressurized oil. The valve in the picture is the control valve, then I'm assuming it has a cylinder attached to the tie rod underneath it. What are you trying to repair on it ?

told you I don't follow politics' LOL both buildings are white aren't they ??? someone should put signs on them with labels. Isn't the capital same place where all the pocket filling kick backs take place ?? they must have security there ???

I found in the paperwork that it has a Ross Hydraulic system for the power steering. It says Ross on the cylinder.I have the original paperwork for the truck and it says nothing about the power steering.

It says Ross on the cylinder.I have the original paperwork for the truck and it says nothing about the power steering.

That pump is a Vickers. I would think parts for it are still available or a suitable replacement is. The control valve ? That might be a problem. Are you sure it's a Ross valve ? The cylinder ? would seem a good hydralic place could do something with that. Wouldn't surprise me if a different make control valve would interchange with your's. Reservoir, a newer Nelson wouldn't be a very dificult swap.

Hopefully it goes the the air filter box. How is the compressor doing ?

It can if it is attached to the intake manifold

I’m restoring my B87 tractor as many of you know.Here’s some pics of the power steering on it.The pump says Vickey vane pump ,the one cylinder says Ross,can anyone tell me what make it is,and where I can get some parts.

Two feet of Global Warming.... .love it!!!! Paul

Just finished shoveling the last storm off the tent garage to make room for the 2 plus feet of global warming coming tomorrow. Trying to ward off a collapse.

Was my latest Youtoob movie removed if so please explain why just so I don't upset any one cya

Not a single democrat voted yes to and it passed.

SMe here rain all morning, then around 2 turned to white crap. And supposed to be white crap until 7 pm tomorrow with 24 inches total falling

No, I mean t they never would have voted yes to the big bill.

It's been raining here all day, then this started-

This is the breather pipe off the air compressor,it has holes rubbed in it,would this cause boost problems.

Beautiful work. Labor of love not expedience. For a trailer, I would go another route. I got what was left of a parts truck. It had been cut up to make a dump trailer out of a rare tandem drive K series IHC. The complete truck, un cut was worth far more than putting the dump bed on some frame rails and a suspension.

He didn’t need them too. Thats the point.

Because the demonrats never would have agreed to it if the tariffs wording was in it.

I assume you mean January 6, 2021? Those folks breached and entered the US Capitol Building not the whitehouse. If so where were you living during the first half of 2021? lol. It was nonstop coverage, conspiracy theories, trials, hearings, witnesses. The works. A little something for everyone.

Yea I get it but I guess I was meaning more along the lines of reciprocity. Basically saying “the USA will not impose tariffs on any country unless other countries impose them first at which point the USA will impose the exact same tariff on them. As a baseline, starting now, all tariffs will be adjusted up or down to match what any other nation has imposed on USA”. Something like that to start. Then with some type of language to quickly bring to the floor and vote on a long term deal with another nation should such a deal be negotiated. What we got on “liberation day” (😂) was preposterous to say the least.
