POWER stearing pump

[m816]

We went up to Ft Drum last weekend and lost the power steering in my five ton M-54, When we got back to the farm, we took it all apart and discovered the shaft between the drive gear and the pump motor had sheared off. The shaft is a good hslf inch thick. There is no other damage except the broken shaft. Anyone have a simular problem with the pump on the multifuel engine? I am looking fo a replacement pump. If you have one, please give me a PM. Thanks Vinny

I have seen that happen to the Saginaw pumps on Autos before. I have no idea why, no other problems. Just slap in a new pump and good to roll.
I am guessing just a crapy shaft.

Does a gasser have the same pump?

Its a known weak link.

No.

I looked at a gasser awhile back to swipe the pump but it was a no-go.

Well, now that we know it is a problem, Anyone have any leads on one? The shaft broke clean and had no noticeable flaws It also seems to have falied while driving down a relatively straight road for quite some distance, no hard turns or rough road. Now we need to replace it before we can think about going to the Gathering at Louisvelle in August. From the few vendors we have contacted, they seem to think they are gold plated and I am on somewhat of a tight budjet this year. So we are looking for a reasonable price Thanks Vinny

Power Steering Pump needed

Hey guys, We are in need of a replacement power steering pump from a 5 ton Multifuel engine. Anyone parting out a five ton engine, I would like to hear from. Pretty soon would be better if we have any chance of making the Gathering in Aug. Thanks Vinny

I just sold a rebuilt 1 a few weeks back. I think Jim Henery has some.

As I understand it, these are Vickers pumps. Does anybody know the Vickers part number. It looks as if the pump has a standard 2-bolt mount so I'm thinking you could find a replacement in the civilian world.

Ty, search for "Vickers VTM-42" on ebay... or use this link http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-...f-power-steering-pump-m35a2-6.html#post848956

Brother Logan Werth sent me the power steering pump from the engine he blew up last Aug on the way home with Uncle Meat. He had to replace his engine and gave me the pump for my truck. We will be putting it in next week and then we need a road test. Doesn't look like we will make the gathering with the Untouchable this year. We are deeply disapointed. Thanks to all who went out of their way to help us out.

Just wondering, what is the cost of a rebuilt power steering pump for a 5-ton?? Anyone?

Thanks Paul, I put all the ickers info on a file. Now if I need to get it I can. In the meantime, I will put the one I got from Logan on the truck. Thanks
