Power steering pump cross reference

I’ve used a cardone 96-6052
I had to have the output fitting changed and then it matched right up. When I put it on the steering became really hard to turn and a cylinder started leaking. Also the control valve had fluid coming from the anticavitation check port. That is what made me wonder if that pump was a good match.

So you're saying that it was steering OK, and then you changed the pump and the steering became hard? Then why did you change the pump?

Old pump was leaking. The previous owner said he just refilled it, turned the wheels from stop to stop and the power steering worked fine. That’s why the pump was changed.

Cardone numbering system I believe is 96 or 20 prefix tells you if pump is new or remanufactured. That pump also fits some Ford passenger vehicles.

I understand that this pump was used on 57 Thunderbirds. That’s why it makes sense to me that it would work on a 57 Ford. However,
Cardone says they do not confirm any match to a tractor

96-6052 fits a1962 Ford County Squire with six cylinder 223 among others. Application not listed for 57 TBird 312 NA. Physically it might bolt up.

For what its worth, I don't remember the details been too many decades ago but I either had a PS pump fail or decided to put PS on a tractor. I frequented the automotive junk yards picking up parts to fix the "rent-a-wrecks" for the kids to drive. I found a Ford Pinto that was easy to get to so I bought that PS pump. Installed it with necessary modifications and to my dismay, steering for a Ford tractor and a Ford Pinto were not the same....the tractor got probably twice the GPM or the pulley arrangement that I had room to use in the tractor didn't spin the Pinto pump fast enough for decent steering speed. Needless to say, that arrangement didn't last very long.

Did the pulley from the Ford tractor fit the Cardone 96-6052 pump?
Yes the pulley matched right up. I have since rebuilt the entire steering column from sector gears to the bearing at the top of a new steering shaft. Still have steering problems, very difficult to steer.I think it has to be either the Cardone pump is not right or the control valve is not functioning right.
