I am restoring a 54 SMTA with live hydraulics and Behlen power steering. As many of you know, with 2 seperate drives,(one for the live Hyraulics, and one for the Behlen unit), it puts the distributor cap right up tight against the oil filter canister. I am looking for, without luck so far, a 90 degree distributor. Does anyone have one for sale, or know where I can find one. Thanks..... Drew

I have done the same thing with an H and it has less room than an M. I am also using the original pull-cable-to-stop mag. I made an adaptor out of 1" thick aluminum plate that offsets the oil filter. The breather pipe had to be relocated as well. The oil filter can also be mounted elsewhere on the tractor by using a stand alone spinoff and running hoses from an adaptor. This would be similar to some trucks applications. I think my Dodge Cummins is like that.

I used a Behlin pump and a M&W pump. I forget which is which but one pump replaces what the IH parts book calls "BRACKET, Distributor or Magneto". This saves four or so inches. I put a support on the mag due to the leverage. I used a timing gear out of a 300. I did the whole thing for chuckles. It is not a hard working tractor.

Get yourself a nice priority valve and get rid of the Behlen pump. You're shooting yourself in the foot any other way. The tractor was designed to have one or the other, not both...

Frankly, I'm surprised you can get the Behlen pump to bolt up!

I have a 90 degree distributor that I would trade straight up, but I think Allan has a better idea.

Drew,

None of my business, but wouldn't it be easier to just plumb in a priority valve to handle the steering motor and get rid of one of those pumps?

That's gotta be kinda hard on the timing gears, isn't it?

Allan
