I used everything of the combine, slave cyl, flow divider, and steering column. Only thing I have to do is double check the line pressures to make sure a Chevy power steering pump will power the system. If this works,, Saved about 60 lbs fromthe steering shafts. That condition you described when it loads the engine,, may not be a bad thing at all, depends I guess, Suppose you are spinning a bit and the front is up,, just turn the steering wheel to take a quick 5 hp out of it, and maybe hook up a bit more at the end of the pull??? Pipe dreaming I guess on that. LOL!! Wont know till I get into that situation. The Flow divider, has 6 lines to run the entire steering system, 2 lines for the main pressure, and return,(from the pump) then there is 2 hoses for the steering cyl, and then 2 larger lines that come out of the steering column that hooks up to the flow divider. Pretty simple set up,, just a few hoses. I have already got the steering column mounted to the tractor, I tell ya,, this thing looks more like a miniature 1066, if ya look at it the right way! LOL! I had that old stock 460 front bolster in it,, with no power steering,, it sucked,,, not to mention the rigging I had to do to make the shafts line up for the linkage. No more of the ugly shafts there,, and a bit more modern. Really, it would work on any custom built tractor, Parts are available at any junkyard that has the late IH 403 combines. ChadS
