Adding power steering to a 51 A

Justin Zant · Jun 24, 2015

I have been using my 51 A for more than
just playing around the yard lately and
decided it would be much handier if it had
power steering (and live hydraulics and pto
lol go buy a 60 right?). I have seen
several with behlen and other add on power
steering systems and don't care for the
look and was wondering if there was another
way to do it. Parts from a 60? I think it
would be neat to keep it hidden and look
stock but realize that its probably not
possible. If there is no other good way of
going about it is there a good place to
look for the behlen parts? Thanks for any
tips in advance.

Skip the 60 and go for a 620 !!! LOL. Much better 3 pt.

I think you are stuck with an add on Behlen or Charrlynn type unit.
I think I remember a fellow adding a 60 gov. housing and using the live pump off it to power his hyd. and power steering.

I have a complete Behlen power steering that came off an A.

As Mike mentioned below, the 60 governor housing can be used to add live hyds or Power steering.

While you might not like tho look of a Char Lynn unit, it is way better than anything Deere made for a two cylinder. It'll make her steer like a 4020... one finger all the time. the look is forgiven by anyone who used one on a long day.

How much for the complete setup??

I like the idea of steering like a 4020 as that's what I'm usually on 2 4020s and a 4320 so knowing that maybe that's just what I need to do but I am interested in how you go about setting up to use the governor housing off a 60 anybody have pictures or more information on that?
