Anyone good with hydralics and power steering?

Posted by Steven@nd on July 15, 2002 at 05:48:02 from (12.15.56.73):

I have a Farmall H with a mower on it that I use on the farm almost daily for various things, the steering gets a little hard by the end of the day and it is a pain to have to take it out of gear or be driving to use the hydralics.

I have a Char-Lynn unit from a 450 complete with pump, I can handle mounting the torque motor in the steering shaft, and it will fit if I build new mounting plates for it. Can I use the power steering pump to run live hydralics too? Would an automotive PS pump be better for doing that? OR should I get a belt driven hydralic pump designed for hydralics and plumb the power steering into that? I use Hy-Tran for hydralic fluid anyway so that should be ok in the torque motor.

Mainly looking for opinions or experience on whether or not I can do both with a single pump. I can run the pump from the crankshaft with a belt and it will work fine for the small implements I use.

Thanks in advance!
Steven
