i used the steering axle from a massey harris combine,and manual rack and pinion from a ford escort.the axle i used was not real wide like some combine axles are.both were dug out of friends scrap piles,and the price was right. |

Yes It is a red one. I had some metal bent and lengthened the stock frame rails. That is my starting point. Not sure about rack and pinion or hydraulic steering leaning tward a closed hydraulic system that operates with no pump. |

The steer axle from a wagon running gear will work.Just need to narrow it to your liking. |
