Has anyone got a parts breakdown { pictures} ,of the linkage and cylinder mounting for hydraulic steering on a Muskeg ? I'm thinking of upgrading the steering on the one I'm rebuilding.
Thanks J5 Bombardier

We have the cylinders custom made 1.5 " bore, clevis both ends with pins
about 400 psi on a muskeg and on the bigger machines like the one we just did a nodwell 110 with the digger it weighs about 35,000 pounds and it will need more pressure about 800-900 psi

PM Boggie, or google Minnesota Outdoors and find him that way. Since they likely designed and "built" the units, they'd be the authority on 'em.
