Steering help

Looking for some advice, I'm doing a new steering system on my tractor and would like to use a rack and pinion, I'm wondering what rack everybody uses that is strong and steers somewhat easy? I have driven a few with a summit rack and can be a bear to back to sled. Also been on a tractor with old manual steering box off a chevy truck and that steered very nice, but bulky. Any advice is appreciated. |

Put a Helm pump on and run two lines to steering cylnder. racks are all hard to steer and not very strong. |

I'm not familiar with a helm pump how does it work, I'm not running any pumps or belts off front of engine now and hopeing to stay that way.we use an orbital valve and a 12v hydraulic pump on pulling truck but that's to heavy. Please tell me more about that helm pump, thanks |

does the fluid make a difference, I have one of these systems and not too happy with it but we used hydraulic fluid, maybe thats the problem |

NOT SHURE ON THAT. I JUST USE THE TRANNY FLUID BUT I DO KNOW THAT AIR IN LINES WILL CAUSE ALOT OF PROBLEMS. SO MAKE SURE U BLEED THAT SYSTEM REAL GOOD AND AFTER YOU THINK ITS OK BLEED IT MORE.OH AND IF U LOOK UNDER PUMP WHERE FITTINGS GO IN YOU WILL SEE A ADJUSTMENT SCREW, TURN IT IN ALL THE WAY AND THAT WILL BOOST YOUR PRESSURE. HOPE THAT HELPS! |

Steering on my tractor, I used the truck only as a reference to what systems I am familiar with. I really like the helm pump idea is there any draw backs to it |

Go to pobar.com site. He has a real nice nice double ended cylinder that i have used on my last two tractors. I used the hand pump off of a 706, bled it with the hydraulic system off of another tractor and had no problems. |
