Hydraulic Pump for Power Steering and Plow Lift
I have started a Saginaw reverse rotation power steering conversion on one of my m37s. This is a yard truck, that works up back on the mountain and NEVER goes on public roads. Like Doakster, I want to power the PS and Plow off one pump. The plan is to use a hydraulic control valve with "power beyond" for the plow lift. This should in theory, pass high pressure hydraulics through to the power steering pump. I suspect, the steering will be affected during plow actuation. (like, no power maybe?) Has anyone done this or have any ideas? I sure wish I could get my hands on the April 89 Tim Peterson article. (Gordon hint-hint).
