G'Day again,
I'm now chasing info on a Charlynn Torque Generator or alternate for Steering on a 212 Gat Grader ,The old one is seized ,

The numbers on it are MOD S 101F
SN 1176 Another number on it is 870 ,

I'm not sure if this is a after market CAT Power steering generator but I don’t think Cat installed this one ,

I read on another thread that the motor shouldn’t put out over 1000PSI,

This one has the shaft coming from the steering wheel into the top of the unit then another shaft out of the bottom to the steering gear box,

I’m looking at the Charlynn 217 series for a replacement Torque Generator but thought I’d get some more info before I spend some big bucks,

The Hydraulic pump for the motor was installed at the rear of the grader on the main crank but it was gone when I purchased the grader,

After looking at some post on here I’m thinking of putting a power steering pump out of a car of some sort on the control tower prop shaft with a belt, any advice?

Any Info on what I maybe can replace this motor with if I cant get the original and what sort of pump to use would be great ,

Also if there is anyone in Aust that knows where I might find a hood/bonnet ,
It’s a 212 Grader
SN 95C135 but I believe it is close to a 9T
Maybe a D2 5U hood might fit , even if the exhaust holes don’t line up maybe I can modify it

Here is some more photos of the old girl so far

Danny,
Not sure if you've noticed, but it seems that some thieves have knicked a few pieces of your grader. It looks like its missing a few bits. At least they left it nice and clean for you. Haha, just kidding.

I dont know much about the power steering you are talking about, except that International Harvester Farmall model M farm tractors were often converted to power steering with char lynn kits. Not sure if these tractors made it to OZ, so I am not sure if its something familiar to you. But the point is that conversions for these tractors was very common, and I would assume the parts are similar if not the same.

Good luck, nice looking work you are doing.

Thanks

Stewart

The 212 uses the same hood as the D2 of similar vintage.

Nice work. The hydraulic pressure to the steer unit should not exceed 1000 psi. Mc Master Carr has a phenolic 4 inch blank pully that could be bored out and drilled to fit the driven Yoke at the control box. Don't know if an automotive steering pump developes 1000 psi. The cat retrofit used a small gear pump with an in line relief valve. I had the complete set up on my 9k mod 12. Recently sold it to some one on this forum. Maybe he could post some pics for you. Hope this helps
