850,950,1050 power steering flow divider

[vt woodchuck]

I'm trying to install power steering on a 850,. I have everything but the p/s flow divider block. The JD part # is AR93303. this divider was used on both early and late production runs. Only difference is location. I've contacted numerous used parts suppliers, incl: JD dealer (obsolete), All states, Shafer, Kentucky, Yanmar USA, and others. Does anyone know where I can get one? My next move is to contact manufactures such as Parker/ Hannifin and others. Does anyone out there have a 850-1050 with p/s. I noticed in the picture in the parts book a data plate on the divider block. If you have one, could you please share the info on the tag with me. Hopefully it might state who made it.
Thanks for you time
Mike

You might try contacting jacksonpowersteering.com . They make complete aftermarket power steering kits. The valve that they use is this: Priorty Flow Valve with relief | Jackson Power Steering

Both of my 1050's have - Modular Controls
(Villa Park,Illinois)
#MCD-1444-6T

Thanks for replying to my post.
JD110: I spoke with Roland Jackson, very nice and a pleasure to talk with, said he didn't have what I was looking for, but asked me to keep in touch and he would help in anyway he could. He also gave me several contact numbers to try, but to no avail.

Barry1: I'm not sure what you mean by modular controls. Do your 1050's have P/S? If they do, could you look on the left side of the tractor under the seat there should be a divider block attached to the side rock-shaft housing, w/ 4 steel lines going to the P/S and SCV.
On top of the valve block, just forward of the relief valve, the books, (parts/service), show a tag, that might show who the manufacturer of the valve block is. Again if your 1050'S do have P/S, could I impose upon you to tell me what the tag states. I might be able to go the Mfg., hopefully get one.
Everyone's help is greatly appreciated.
Mike

That IS what the tag says,and they both have power steering. That is who made the valve-"Modular Controls" #MCD-1444-6T

Ah, you did hit some of the ones I would have posted like SHEAFFER'S and WKY Japan tractor salvage. If Len Sheaffer can not find it, then it's a really hard part to get today.

The original Yanmar OE PS system has a design flaw and will leak over time. Hoye in TX sells a better unit, but it does cost a nice shinny dollar for it With that even said, they are sold out at the moment too.

The divider block is very similar to a TXV block for automotive AC. Just that the fitting ports are a different metric size.

Here's my parts contact listing for Yanmars YM/F/FX and JD 50-Series, 90-Series & 70-Series all made by Yanmar.

BMAVERICK:
Thanks for the reply. I will try several of the contacts on your list I have not called yet. I thought I had one, but when they tested it it turned out to be bad.
Can you give me more info on the TXV block for a/c? I might be able to modify it, to make it work.
Thanks
Mike

Well I asked the good Lord to help me find a flow divider. I don't know how many calls I made, trying to track down one of these things. I was about ready to give up and scrap the idea, or Modular Controls to see about remaking one that hadn't been made since the 70's. I actually spoke to someone at M.C. that said they still have the drawings and specs.
Something told me to check E-BAY one more time, and there it was, second item down, NEW OLD STOCK, still in the box. I couldn't believe it.
Thanks to Barry1 for the Mfg. name and part number. Big help.

Even with the exhaustive list above, the Lord works in His ways.
