I mounted the Chevy power steering box directly to the steering gear in front of the radiator and mounted the chevy belt driven pump to make sure the system would work smoothly independent of the tractor hydraulics. I downsized the pump pulley to make up for slower rpm and made the shaft from the steering wheel longer to mount it directly to the new steering box. I don't really like how high I had to put it but it will work well and is actually a simple installation. Originally I wanted to mount the steering box low on the frame and connect directly into the tie rods but that was to hard to do because of the pivot point for the whole front axle and I didn't have a good way to get the steering shaft down to it. My power steering has never worked well anyway and I'm getting tired of battling it. I move round bales with my loader and that is especially hard with the extra weight. I would be glad to post some pictures if I can figure out how to do it. Thanks for the help.
