Mark T Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 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. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76422-need-help/#findComment-591662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

hicrop10 Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago I found in the paperwork that it has a Ross Hydraulic system for the power steering. 49 minutes ago, Mark T said: That pump is a Vickers.

Mark T Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 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 ?

PMC Posted 9 minutes ago Share Posted 9 minutes ago 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.
