Power Steering Assy with Priority Valve for a L 235 DT

[lreops]

Wanted and Needed before this machine completely wears me out.

I have a L235 DT w/FEL that is a really a bear to steer in close quarters. This machine had an option for power steering and the main components are Steering Box, Part # 35270-16100, Priority Valve, Part # 35270-16710, and a Relief Valve, Part # 38240-36600. I've been checking salvage yards across the country and have had no luck. Seems like if it's not Green or Red, you're out of luck.

Surely, In this land of Orange, there must be one laying around somewhere, just need everyone to look.

Thanks for reading.

I believe Eric is talking about this site http://www.surpluscenter.com/hydraulic.asp?catname=hydraulic Some folks on here have built their own power steering or replaced OEM parts from surpluscenter.com Give them a call or an email, they may have what you need.

I have a l245dt , I just finished putting power steering on it , And let me just say it is awesome , cause it sucked before . Anyways I bought a steering assembly off of a old combine at Wilson farms in fredericktown , ohio . He shipped it to me , it came with steering valve , and a push pull steering cylinder . No priorit valve needed , I ran my hydraulic main into p port of steering valve and then came back out on t port off steering valve into p port of loader valve and then ofcourse out of t port of loader valve back to tank return line , with that hookup I can still steer , run my loader and 3 point all at the same time with no sacrafice of power or quickness , it works great , I think I had 400 in the whole thing including lines and fittings . Now the only place to mount ur steering valve is under the small dash , so there is a little bit of cutting and modifying of the dash panel , the steering wheel on mine is strait up instead of tilting toward u , but I have no issues with that at all , and it doesn't compromise comfort or looks . Good luck

As far as photos , it really wouldn't show much , steering valve is under dash so u can't c any of that , the steering cylinder u can c , but it's just hard mounted at clutch pedal and the other side mounts to your tie rod end up on the front axle , nothing to it . If u wanna send me an email address or phone # I can shoot it over to ya , I forgot to say the combine was a old Massey ferguson , but I think any will work .
