I have a charr Lynn steering valve 7.3 cu in displacement open center non load reactive (doesn't return to center). It occasionally drips from the input shaft, I say occasionally because I've never seen it drip but there is hydro fluid on the frame below, haven't had to add any since I worked out all the kinks about 6 months ago. I do have a rubber seal kit that will go with it.
Trail gear steering column for the steering valve. Ground a flat spot for a steering shaft u-joint which I'll include.
2 in bore 8 inch stroke ram from surplus center, bought new and used for about 6 months.
Then I have all the crimped hydraulic hoses and fittings. Pressure hose is made to fit a stock pump and the return is 2 hoses, one has 6 jic fittings from valve to cooler then 6 jic from cooler to 3/8 compression to connect to the pump return(you'll need a new ferrule).
All this stuff is 6 months old or less, used on 3 trail rides and 75-100 pavement, yes pavement, miles. Steering is pretty quick, I think somewhere around 4 turns lock to lock, faster one way then the other because of single ended ram but not bad.
Would like $450 shipped which is what I paid for the steering valve. Only reason I'm removing it is because I'm planning a trip with lots of highway miles. This system wasn't bad for short trips but any more than 15 miles at a time sucks. Worked fantastic offroad.
