Babbo 1 #1 Posted 6 hours ago I have a leak in the aux cylinder and hoses after the charge pump. The cylinder is used for power steering and has a simple control valve and double acting cylinder to turn the front wheels. I have the original manual steering setup I can drop in very easily. My question is, what is the best way to loop-back the aux ports to essentially delete the aux cylinder and valve? My initial thought was to plug the control valve working ports so the open center valve allows fluid to return to the Eaton 11 but that's leaking too. See "X"s in the figure below. Essentially, I want to keep the charge pump but don't want to use it for auxillary work until I fix all the leaks. Simply plugging the 2 ports doesn't seem right but looping a hose from supply to return seems like ta logical approach (red jumper hose in figure). Any ideas?

Babbo 1 #3 Posted 4 hours ago Excellent, thank you Joe. It looks like output port of the charge pump is -6 ORB. The other end of the hose would need to connect to my filter setup. Something like this.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
