Ford TW-35 power steering conversion and 8560 hydro blocks.

bengerlach · May 15, 2019

We currently own a TW-35 that has the power steering leaks. I was wondering if it would be possible to convert the power steering to the main hydraulics in order to possibly minimize the leaks at the pump. It is a long shot but I would imagine there is a way to do it.

We also own a New Holland 8560 (7700 hours) where the first hydraulic block is pushing the hoses out. I have tried different style ends so I am led to believe the coupler locks are worn out or broke.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think it would be far easier, and more cost effective to repair the power steering leaks.

I've seen a guy do it to a TW because he was too cheap to buy a new pump. He simply ran a line from the remote valve to the inlet side of the PS system, and ran the return line to sump. Worked great until he needed the remote hydraulics for something else.
