dodge78 94 #1 Posted February 22, 2010 Does anyone know want the GPM and PSI might be for kit 97-40FL01? I have one on the C-160 and want to add power steering. I am thinking it would be more than enough judging from how fast the cylinders move . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-Series14 15 #2 Posted February 22, 2010 My manual for mine says 1400 psi. Don't see anything about gpm's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickv1957 74 #4 Posted February 22, 2010 A power steering setup would be a nice option on a C160 with loader!,Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 18,083 #7 Posted February 23, 2010 I would say the pump is about right for power steering. There are a couple of ways to do it. You could use the power beyond port off the valve to connect the circuit but you will loose the pressure when using the FEL. You should still be able to steer though. It will just get hard. The flow will probably need to be reduced. Another way is to use a priority flow divider installed before the FEL circuit to send fluid to the steering valve. This way you would have constant pressure for steering but you loose some of the volume going to the FEL and it will loose some of its speed. I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dodge78 94 #8 Posted March 2, 2010 Well I have in my grubby little paws, an Eaton series 2 steering control unit. http://www.rc29.ru/eaton/site/pdfs/07-310.pdf Search for 291-5011-061 on page 6. Which brings me to page 19 here. http://www.fluidpower.com.br/catalogo/pdf/...nn_direcoes.pdf Is the pump going to be too much PSI? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
