MF 65mk2 want constant flow

[Mursal]

Surely the picture will be OK?

 

[multi power]

you changed yor mind about agriline stuff then

Oh no, I only ment the photos would show everything in the kit.definitely NOT saying to buy from them

 

[joe soapy]

No, do away with all the bits joining the two wheels together, too many joints
introduce slop... just 1 rod right across behind axel

Wonder if the same ram out front will fit both?
Seem to remember the tombstone has a casting on it to take the end of the ram, 65 mightn't have that.
Yes the DB990 with the stand up in cab, is the way forward.
You'd want a week in the pub after that transaction ..............

I can't see any place to mount a ram on the tombstone. Maybe a pair of small ram behind the axle, one each side like a 550, or even a single bigger one ?

Well bought a pump from a 165 on ebay today so will find out next week if it fits or not.
Then worry about orbital unit and suitable ram.
My tractor has a high up steering rod near diesel tank.
So if all fits what else do I need. Is the oil self contained do I need a reservoir etc.

Hope the 165 pump is off an early example with AD4.203 motor?

Scanner on blink otherwise I'd post picture.
The 65 ram anchors on a bolt on bracket- this bolts in the two holes on the top of tombstone beneath the air cleaner, and the other end connects to a special steering arm fitted in place of the existing steering pedestal.

yep you have to use a different steering pin and bottom steering arm
easy enough to fit

I think I get the idea, the ram will be maybe about half way up the rad

Well it's actually quite low down- enough to allow clearance for the air-cleaner reservoir to be removed.

I will take a pic tomorrow

It's in the work shop manual

true

Notice its a different part no for the ram on a 65 to the one for a 165.

 

[massey765]

iam just on with getting all the bits gathered up to put power steering on a mk 1 65













the small end of the ram goes into a 4 bolt casting....this part is cast into the tombstone on a165

also found out early175 use the same system as a 65 apart from a beefed up bottom arm and shaft


both mk1 and mk 2 are the same

 

[robin banks]

Thanks for the help guys. I think I will not do the standard type ram at top of pedestile as I have wear in joints. But will make up a spot on axle for a more standard type ram

 

[Mursal]

And how will you control the flow to the standard ram?
Might need a ram with the valve in the end, like on the older Ford's.

orbital unit

orbital unit

yes this idea needs launched in to space

Do you mean its ideas like this that made space travel possible

Full hydro-static sterring on a MK2 65
I can see the grand kids now, in 2050, posting on TFF, was it standard on the MK2 ........................
