Brocky Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I presume a Mack someone will answer your question on a hydraulic power steering application. I read in the John Deere Green Magazine a couple three months ago about an electric power steering unit which attaches to the shaft above the steering box.

T-Mack1 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Some tv show/or YouTube video I watched a few months ago had a hydraulic pump for the steering that somehow was mounted to the back end of the generator. I always wondered if one of those new electric assist units they make for custom cars could be fitted. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76195-power-steering-for-707-l-model/#findComment-586366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I had one of those on my 55 Chevy bel air…. pump was attached to back of generator with the tie rod ram I’m sure one could use on other vehicles but retro Chevy parts are a fortune good luck.

terry Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The power steering pump was standard on B models on back of generator,the the early R models had a belt driven one, then the maxidyne series had it on back of compressor, i have seen on B models where a bracket was made for the belt driven and ran off of front fan belt from crankshaft. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76195-power-steering-for-707-l-model/#findComment-586381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
