Ford 1841 steering pump

[Lew Best]

Hey guys

An old 1841 with backhoe followed me home; was told that when it was parked bout 10-15 years ago that the steering didn't work. The cable system that controls it seems ok; no idea bout the rest of it as the steering pump is gone. Someone on another forum or yahoo group (don't recall where; my search for info has been ongoing for months while I waited to get it home) that an old Ford automotive pump would fit but no year models, etc. Anyone have any info? maybe a pump you'd sell? I'm not even sure where it mounts (right or left side; brackets that might be for a pump on both sides).

Any help appreciated!

The valve (sensor) in the cylinder may not be working and that is why they quit using it and took a part off of it, it is not worth fixing that type steering, Ford recommended owners updated to the model 4140 steering in the mid 60's but some did not. Jackson power steering has a kit to get oil from the loader hydraulics on your model if interested in using the tractor again.
