Hi my Ford 5000 has a power steering leak. I've
identified the leak coming from a small break in the
metal elbow line coming from the pressurized side
of the power steering ram. Ford / aftermarket
doesn't carry this part . Local hydraulic can't build
me anything because the fitting on the ram is
uncommon. I've looked at the aftermarket flex hose
but no one can give me an answer if the hose will
thread directly into the ram. has anyone done power
steering work on these tractors? Anyone know if
aftermarket will fit the ram?
 
Hmm I'm seeing flex hoses with a fitting for around 50$ but no one seems to give me straight answers on whether the fitting will screw into the ram
 
The line from the pump to the cylinder had a pinhole leak in it. When I had the cylinder rebuilt I asked if they could make a new line. Nope, couldn't do it. Something about the curves and bends being done on a special jig. Took it to another bunch that specialized in oddball hydraulic repairs. They brazed it up and there have been no leaks. Works like a charm.
