Most people convert manual steering to power steering. I dare to be different! I'm tired of my leaky power steering.

I agree with the issue of constant oil leaks, it's just that we are not as young as we use to be. You are doing some nice work on your "specialty use" tractors.

Love your WD 45. I had two for years, one with PS and it was nice but probably not necessary since that front end is so light. We had constant leaks with our power steering system too. I messed with it for years without success. Eventually traded it for an Oliver as our horsepower needs increased. I miss having a lightweight tractor for seeding…

That's one way to fix the leaks!! I never saw one with power steering. Ran a friend's WD45 with an F11 high lift loader and 10 bale grapple.. loaded semis in the field for a week or so.. never had any trouble steering it.

I didn't realize a hood change was in order to match up with WD power steering. Mine and the old one back on the farm are manual steering. Warm weather is getting closer every day, or so we convince ourselves. Your tractor is looking good and ready.

We had a WD-45 Diesel that did not have power steering, and they weren't that hard to steer. Our gasser had power steering, but it wasn't the Allis factory installed unit, so it didn't have the hole in the hood.

If new seals and O-rings didn't stop the leaks, then I'd probably take it off also. I assume this isn't the BMW power steering assembly on a different rebuild? If that was a different tractor, does it leak?

Don’t have a barns pump. Original pump went bad years ago. I used an automotive ps pump for a BMW. Pressure and volume specs are close. Pump was the only thing that didn’t leak.
