POWER STEERING KITS FOR B-SERIES TRACTORS!

Power Steering Kits for IH B-Series Tractors!

IH B-Series tractors are handy dandy little tractors, and are reasonable to buy, economical on fuel, easy to operate, nimble, and just generally user-friendly. That said, one shortcoming of the majority of them is that they only have manual steering. This is of moderate importance on bare tractors, and major importance on loader-equipped ones. A loader can seriously affect wear on the steering gearbox's components, especially the horizontal output shaft. This part can snap right off under duress. The addition of power steering, besides the obvious advantages of newfound comfort and convenience and added efficiency for the operator, is that the strain of steering the tractor is taken off of the steering gearbox, and placed on the frame of the tractor instead; the power steering ram pushes against a support bolted to the frame of the tractor, and the steering gearbox now only serves to (effortlessly) guide the ram's direction. Loader work not only becomes a breeze, but also becomes easier on both you AND your tractor. No more bracing your feet and 'reefing' on the steering wheel, and no more slowing down just to try to make your direction match your forward progress. All that is replaced with pleasant, effortless fingertip guidance of your tractor, and your pleasure of ownership and operation increases in direct accordance.

Another improvement made on your tractor with the addition of one of these kits is the fact that you receive a new hydraulic pump--with the power steering pump 'piggybacked' on it--for your tractor. Not only will steering become easier, but your 3PTH, loader, and remote hydraulic performance will be restored to 'like new' levels.

Due to continous demand--and after one false start--ITP has now managed to source direct bolt-on power steering kits for the IH B-Series tractors! These kits will work with the B-275, 276, 354, 364, B-414, 434, and BRITISH (NOT Louisville) 444 tractors. It won't work with a 424 or Louisville 444 tractor; these have different front axles from the rest. To identify your tractor as non-compatible model, check it's front axle--if it has a round tube, SWEPT BACK front axle, this kit will not fit. All others mentioned will work.

These kits include everything you need to convert your tractor from manual steering to effortless power steering, and can be installed in a few hours by anyone with moderate mechanical skills.

Please note that these kits may cause some compatibility issues with the mounting of certain loaders, and some refabrication of the rear anchor mount of the hydraulic ram be be necessary. Some Diesel tractors may require conversion to an electric fuel pump for PS pump clearance.
