HF54 power steering for my M35A2

[goodwithwood35]

You now have a truck you must keep forever.

For sure. My wife said she is gonna bury me in it. Now to find someone who will have an excavator big enough to dig the hole.

Unless I trust my sons to take the reigns...and give it the love it deserves.

Yes, I have Solidworks. Sent you a PM.

Do you have access to CAD software? Or know someone who does? I do have a drawing in AutoCAD which you can print out as a full scale template for drilling. If not, I can convert it to PDF with dimensions. If I recall my template was only for the box mounting and the sector shaft hole, not for all the plate mounting bolts.

I have a friend with a pretty basic deuce (no winch, no dropside, ND tires, etc.) and he likes 24087 and I keep sending him pictures of this truck saying "You could be this cool!"

So far, it had not moved him to action

Anyone know of a current source for the multifuel PS pump, mount, and gear that is reasonably priced?

Eastern had the best prices last time I looked. Seems some have said their shipping sucks though. Might check with them.

Depending on your timeline I can get you one that is complete, and reasonably priced. Shoot me a PM.

Not sure about current source for the pump itself - if you are looking for NEW or NOS parts... But not too long ago you could get those at Waterloo Specialties (member m-35tom). AFAK he has sold parts individually also; not just the whole kit.

For the correct mounting/adapter housing I would consider this one: http://www.tnjmurray.com/militaryve...tid/66/id/264C11F6-FF01-F7E7-7B1D880CE7ACA914
... and here is one option for the corresponding gear: http://www.tnjmurray.com/militaryve...tid/66/id/26568DBD-B878-7F9F-402D1039FE2AD92F

Talk to Bill at Eastern Surplus...$150 for a takeoff with the gear and the flange. Didn’t ask about shipping. That’s cheaper than I got mine for, but mine was NOS from a fellow member who was putting an rebuilt LDS in his M35 and didn’t need the pump.

if i remember correct, i got my parts from them. I guess they can't supply the flange, but pretty shure the pump and fine rebuild HF54.
Take care, there are 4? differend pumps with the same housing.

And for anybody who looks for a HF54...there are different output shafts availible. You need a full spline AND full grove.
Don't ask how i find out.
Been there, done that..

Good with wood and steel, etc, is there any way to get a copy of your CAD template. That way I am not reinventing the wheel.

did not Rustystud just invent Deuce Power Steering for himself?

The problem with the original box is the ratio, not the force...switching to the HF makes a different truck .
Steers like a modern car. Believe me.

Great thread. This is also very high in my priority list on my 109. I've been researching this and searching for parts the past few weeks. I spend hundreds of miles at a time in the 109 followed by hours of offroading getting to camping spots and that manual steering with 395s on the technical stuff makes me tell passengers to get the liquor ready for when we stop.

I’d love to hear if you’ve made the P/S upgrade as I just bought a 109 myself and looking to make this upgrade. I’ve read others using a Saginaw steering box and a 5 ton pump with little modification to the truck, but haven’t been able to get any additional info on their build.

I fully agree. The truck feels like it shrunk in size, especially when maneuvering in tight spaces.
