Andrew Z 08-29-2012 16:15:33 64.252.7.134 Report to Moderator	I have a Charlyn power steering set up on my Super MD (driven by an Eaton pump). Anyway the power steering works fairly well for being a diesel, wide front and a loader, but i have play in the torque motor. It is not at the point where it is not usable but going down the road in 5th is no longer safe. Is there a way to adjust "play" in them or a rebuild kit to correct this? thanks Andrew [Reply]   [No Email]

I would contact a hydraulic repair shop in your area that repairs Eaton equipment and see if they either have the parts or can still get them. Here in SC Kansas, I would contact B&B Hydraulics... actually a few old Cessna/Eaton hands work there and might have access to parts. Charlynns are built at Eaton's Shawnee, OK plant.

Do a Google search for Charlyn power steering and you will find the Eaton web site -- there are a few parts still available, but probably not the ones you need if it is indeed the steering.
