Rob Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm wondering if anyone knows what the old Garrison "linkage assist" steering hydraulic flow was in gpm? I've got one and want to use an engine driven pump that is close coupled to my air compressor, instead of the generator mounted pump.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

CML Service Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Rob, My Bmodel was converted to a coupled pump before I got it and it works just fine.

theakerstwo Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I would put it on and put a pressure gauge on the pressure line to the control vavle and if it dont carry more than 25 psi at netural and warm oil i would use it and i am talking about at 2100 rpm. if maybe it has saY 50 PSI THEN PUT A SMALL COOLER ON IT SOME WERE. glenn i guess you got my message .

Mark from OZ Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 HI Rob The power steering pumps VICKERS pumps go from 1.5 gpm 4 gpm up to 5 gpm from memory. The Garrison setup uses the bigger pumps for the twin rams . When you fit a Shepherd full power steer boy you go down in size as the Shepherd box dont need the extra flow. Got the paperwork for that buried in the archives somewhere Regards Mark.
