Description
When your tractor’s power steering starts fighting back or feels sluggish during loader work, it’s usually a sign your steering ram is getting tired. Wrestling the steering wheel without proper assist is a workout nobody needs, especially during headland turns with a mounted plow or loader work around the farmyard. This replacement power steering ram brings back the smooth, responsive steering that makes those long field days manageable instead of an endurance test.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty 370mm hydraulic cylinder built to handle the pressure and punishment of farm work
- Direct replacement that restores factory steering performance without modifications
- Corrosion-resistant construction that stands up to moisture, chemicals, and temperature swings
- Precision-machined components with quality seals for smooth operation and long service life
- Works with available seal kit for complete hydraulic system maintenance
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Ford New Holland TM series tractors are powerhouse machines designed for serious farming – deep tillage, heavy implement work, and high-capacity field operations. The 60 series handles mixed farming, hay production, and livestock operations, while Fiat M series tractors serve everything from vineyard work to row crop farming. Power steering problems rarely appear suddenly – they develop gradually until you can’t ignore them anymore, and when they do, you need reliable steering control to safely handle these big machines and their implements.
Made to Last
This steering ram uses modern manufacturing techniques and materials that often exceed original specifications. The precision-honed cylinder bore eliminates the dead spots common in worn units, while modern seal materials resist the deterioration that plagued original equipment. Quality construction means fewer rebuilds and more time getting work done.
Installation Notes
This ram requires professional installation for proper system bleeding and pressure testing. Rebuilding a power steering ram requires cleanliness and attention to detail for success – contamination entering during rebuild causes immediate seal failure. The compatible seal kit QTP-42978 is recommended for complete service and sold separately. Always flush the system with clean hydraulic fluid during installation, and check your hydraulic pump output while you’re at it – a weak pump won’t provide proper assist even with a new ram.
