I went and did a test today to answer this question. This was a real actual test in the vehicle not hypothetical.
M35 with PSC: Engine off sitting still I can still barely turn tires. Driving and killing engine I can turn while coasting. 12r20tires on the snow.
Park the M35 walk over to...
I just kinda copied what I see all the other guru's doing. I have not ever seen a bolt on method. I made sure it would hopefully not catch on anything going forward or reverse when trying to get unstuck. yes, lots of large bolder/ rocks everywhere i go as well.
I had both trucks out on a...
It was expensive, I agree, but seems like everything is. The cost was the PSC system plus the gear driven pump from a 5 ton. More cost if you don't trust your welding for attaching to front axle would have to hire that out plus a small piece of steel plate. All in all the waterloo system is a...
All done with hydraulic steering. Drives great. 15 miles on pavement up to 50. Up and down the creek bed a little... snow, water, rock and some soft silt and one fairly steep river bank. Lockers and all 6 wheels made it up and out on 4th try.

While i was in there i fixed alternator ear and replaced air pump belt.
I just read that article 2 days ago. I ordered my parts from PSC today. My friend has been running the PSC double ended hydro system on his Rockwell's for about 10 yrs with 53'' he drives up the creel/river with his knee.
Thanks for the support. Luckily I am stubborn and go broke before ever quitting.. not really broke I just work more to make up for my mistakes. I decided to go full hydraulic steering after comparing prices. Opens up lots of engine space as well.
It is funny that after weeks of searching...
Got parts home this weekend for power steering. Power steering pump, steering box and arms off a 5ton. See what happens. I currently have a homemade power assist on my truck from previous owner with a gmc power steering belt pump ( not hooked up). I am not sure what the plan was or why it...
