Hello to all and Merry Christmas, I want to thank everyone that has offered me some words of wisdom the past few months regarding my 55 Ferguson. I have installed a new engine in it and it runs great.
I am going to post a BEWARE sign right here about the following upgrade to my tractor.
If you don' t like to see old tractors altered please close this page now.
I will be altering the dash or cowl or whatever you may call it on my old tractor so I can install an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system.
I knew the tractor steered hard when I bought it but I never realized it would wear me out in such a short time. My tractor has a front end loader that adds a lot of weight on the front wheels therefore making it hard to steer.
This project took me about 3 to 4 weeks to complete. I started looking at some old used power steering systems that were on other tractor. I decided I wasn't going to spend the money for
a labor intensive and high maintenance hydraulic unit.
I goggled EPS and I found some 2002 to 2007 Saturn EPS units and a video on how they installed their EPS.
I will be writing in this post and adding pictures as I get time, please bear with me.
First thing is for me to learn how to post pic's on this forum.
