ust curious, but how did you ultimately 'map' the ports?(quoted from post at 09:53:47 09/26/12)Might I suggest some 90* port adapters to turn the hose runs straight down and to the sides.(quoted from post at 23:18:25 09/25/12) Here's the mock up, not tested yet.

Mapping them wasn't really an issue because it was mostly still assembled when I got it.Just curious, but how did you ultimately 'map' the ports?
I think you're right Joe, although I haven't been able to find a name on it.(quoted from post at 10:51:29 09/26/12) That looks like a "Char-Lynn" power steering unit. They were used on John Deer, IH, and others. I have a friend that has one on an NAA. Uses only one cylinder, but works very well. joe
ommunications is sure difficult sometimes......all along I thought you were trying to figure out the hose position/connections, but now I think you were concerned about which end (mechanically) does the steering wheel connect to? Is that right? OK, so does it make a difference which end steering wheel connects to & if so, why? Realizing hoses could be swapped.(quoted from post at 11:34:20 09/26/12)Mapping them wasn't really an issue because it was mostly still assembled when I got it.Just curious, but how did you ultimately 'map' the ports?
The top hose was connected to the high pressure side of the pump and
has a unique fitting that wouldn't connect anywhere else.
The lower hose has a low pressure barb fitting to go back to the resevoir.
The two side hoses were already connected to the cylinder that helps you
move the draglink. The fittings will only fit there, although they could be reversed.
I did end up hooking up my air hose to it so I could tell which of those two hoses were
pressurized when turning left or right.
I have left the cylinder loose from the draglink so I can find the "neutral" position
on the cylinder movement and then tighten it in place.
It is a first time project for me, so recommendations are welcome.

on't think it is a 'torque amplifier' like the Charlynn on Farmalls, but rather just a control for the double acting cylinder attached to steering links/rods. On those Farmalls, there is no other cylinder, just the single device inserted inline with the steering wheel shaft.(quoted from post at 20:59:05 09/26/12)(quoted from post at 12:06:50 09/26/12)ommunications is sure difficult sometimes......all along I thought you were trying to figure out the hose position/connections, but now I think you were concerned about which end (mechanically) does the steering wheel connect to?

Possibly because it might be a torque amplifier and doesn't drive a cylinder. After counting hoses I discounted that idea :?
