Hi all,
I need to replace the power steering cylinder for our tractor. The cylinder is one of those with the directional control valve built into it. It hasn't worked for years and basically renders the tractor useless without it. we took it into a hydraulics repair shop and they told us it wasn't repairable. Also, we had a North American wide search for the replacement part (3072695R91) and absolutely nothing came up. I don't have a picture off our tractor but found one of the same unit in another related thread on this site (thanks DickC!):

So our only option seems to be to replace it with a similar unit (aftermarket or used) from another make/model of farm equipment, assuming a similar design was used on other equipment of the same era.
Does someone have any ideas for us, either used part # or idea for a retrofit, etc.?
Our location is Southern Alberta, Canada.
Thank you
