Here are the pictures you requested Larry. I will be hooking up the back up hydraulic pump later this summer as I rewire the unit.

This one came from the factory like that. Boggie must have done another one.
Larry, we do make a stand alone unit, in fact we just are finishing one for a power company in Mississippi for on a Nodwell 110 with a digger/derrick on it it weighs in at 38,000 pounds and this will run it. we have made several of these this one has a 12volt pump unit and a provision for brakes built in. I will get a picture tomorrow and post for you
here are the pictures this unit was a modular system connect two hoses to your differential and three wires 12 positive and 12 volt negative and one wire for the electric actuation of both for brakes and thats it. this will be used on a 38,000 pound rig.

You do know that you have the coolest job in the whole world, don't you ?(aside from swimsuit model photographer, of course).
It not a Job, it's a passion, but if I were a swimsuit photographer there may be passion at times too.

That lookes like what I had in mind .Do you pull back on the joy stick for braking or do you rely on the e-brake. I will have the cat home in about 3 weeks and will look to see how I would be able to mount the system If you can give me close price that would be grreat. I well be going to Mich. mid summer and think I can convince my wife that you are right on the way the from colorado thanks for your help Larry S

Larry, in the picture if you look there is a rolled up blue wire that goes to a floor mounted momentary switch ( tractor start switch) that supplys power to the relay double contact N.O. switch when it is engergized it pulls in and starts the motor and also controls the red normally open 2 way valve witch closes off the return line from the blue vickers valve and sends the oil down both line to the cylinders attached to the steering on the differential.
it could be done with a four way joystick also, most like the floor switch it seems more like a brake....
cost really varies with the machine send me a PM. with everything is more than you think.

Hey, anyone know if this system could be retro fitted onto a 69 spryte and get rid of the "steering sticks" and have joystick steering?
THAT WOULD BE NICE.....bag the stupid steering issues!

If your machine has the OC-12 and has "steering issues" I think you have either adjustment or band lining issues. Just something to consider.
