He something like that on his IH "M". It steered a lot better than his "H". I think it had some kind of gear reduction built in. If I remember you had to "wind" the steering wheel, for a tight turn. Over all he liked it. Dennis [Reply]  [No Email]

It will take more turns to go from "lock to lock" but the manual steering effort effort is less than a regular steering wheel. [Reply]  [No Email]

I understand it is suppose to take some of the shock out of the steering wheel if you are running across the end furrows before getting them smoothed down so it is not really a power steering the way I understand it.

That is if it still is in a working condition. if you desire "Power Steering" the cheap way, you can lengthen the steering arms on top of the spindles about two inches on each side and this will make your sterring easier to turn.

I wonder how much easier the steering feels and how much your turning radius will increase. Probably could calculate that... Dan [Reply]  [No Email]

It will decrease turning efort but diminishes the turning radius without brake sterring. [Reply]  [No Email]
