You need a cyl bracket from a 1864 it dog legs down under the fender mount

i always wondered why no one tried a two way ram like what steers a big boat motor, that is parallel to the axle like Sam is saying....?? just would have to mount the body of it to the saddle or something....i have one if someone wants to try...??

I actually looked into cylinders like that but the cost was ...

Got the Valve mount finished up again last night. Had it done once before but the key swtich wouldn't fit to has to adjust.

Coming right along, just as a FYI, do not loosen the "through bolts" in the steering "pump" ( what you mounted) as it can, and usually causes the multiple "O" rings to lose their mating seal, causing you to purchase a rebuild kit.

well lets hope not, but at least if i do I have hunted down the manual for that particular one (hopefully the rebuild if needed wont be to hard to get) not from a cubby, I ended up having to cut down the original shaft and cub shaft and mate them together to pull that thing off.

ok,
if it leaks usually the "kit" is less expensive from Deere, seems last one I bought was $80.
I am looking into getting just the "O" rings that I actually need for a reseal
of the pump, they are less than $.50 each, maybe spend $10 if that is all that is needed, and it should be.
It is just not thrifty to buy a kit when just a dozen "O" rings are needed.

well they sure as hell look all the same, but that unit actually came out of a jacobson Greens King something or another. so parts idk how they will be to find if they are not all the same.

Well most of those ross units use the same kit from parker.
Deere/cub and others.
