New here, but have been lurking for some time. I've done a few searches and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Forgive if this has been covered already. I have a 78 ford 335 industrial w/ the 770(?) loader. basically a 3600 with the heavy front axle. Factory Power steering. the power steering has turned to complete slop and I'd like to renew the gear box assembly. I'm debating buying a rebuilt unit and bolting it in, but got a little sticker shock at the prices of rebuilt units.
Here's my question, is it possible to bolt the ps valve, adapter block and tube from my existing system onto the base from a manual gear box assembly? My existing shaft is in good shape if needed. Reason I'm asking is rebuilt man box is 450, rebuilt ps box is 1600. All thoughts, criticisms appreciated.
