Great work there! I wish I was handy with a lathe, oh the things I could fix then!!
Not exactly "cheap" but certainly cheaper than buying all original new parts for my Massey Ferguson. Over the past couple of years I broke a lot of steering components because someone had removed most of the power steering parts from my 202 and left others just hangin' there rusting. To make a long story short, new parts estimated at around $1600 to repair what was broken and replace what was missing. For somewhere around $600 I build my own hydrostatic power steering that runs off the loader hydraulic pump.

And one with my son (9 at the time, just turned 10) backing it up. Shows just how easy it steers now!

Just one of many upgrades I have done since I got the tractor just over a year ago but certainly the best one!
