Saginaw Power Steering (pics) Please Add Yours!

Jared I used borgeson joints for the stearing just the plain steel ones that you have to paint.
In the garage and intro forum there is more pics of my jeep in the thread new here great site.
On the PTO joints I am not sure if you post a thread I am sure the other guys on the forum will help you out.

 

Where do you get these PTO joints and how much are they? I need some for my PTO.

 

Any decent tractor dealer, oh and "Tractor Supply" doesn't count, they carry some but usually not a decent selection.

 

Six States Distributing, Potter-Webster, etc. also carry them. Nickmil.

 

i got a buket full once at a farm implement sale for like 25bux if could only find them::

 

Just finished my saginaw swap. Simple manual DJ box.

 

Has anyone used the steering box mount that Herm the overdrive guy sells, or one that is similar? It uses a ford reverse steer box that mounts above the axle on the inside of the frame on the drivers side. It's said to be able to be mounted without major frame modifications and is more forgiving on the frame since it mounts in a stronger location? I am curious because this looks like a pretty nice option over the typical saginaw boxes mounted on the fronts of these already weak frames. I was considering it for our Willys, but some of the saginaw set-ups you guys used look pretty decent too...

Here's another manual DJ box, complete with DJ mounting brackets:

 

I did not see any of them braced to the other side of the frame. I going to run a rod from the bottom of the box to the other side

Sorry, I don't read this section very often. If you guys that have posted pictures could send me copies, we can get them posted in the Photo Archive too. The section is there ready to go.

Please email them to me at tigershark.ecj5@gmail.com

Thanks,

Well finally got the mount done and the frame boxed on both sides curtesy of my son. He can weld pretty good the old man on the other hand can booger weld with the best of em.

 

What mounting base is that Jim?

 

Tell you the truth I'm not sure I got it from Enattras a member here. I think its from Rube.

 

Does any one on this form ,make a mounting bracket for the power steering upgrade for the saginaw?

 

Here is my install on 48 Willys using a 1971 Jeepsteer mounting bracket, and I'm using a manual box.

 

'86 Cherokee power steering in a CJ3a. 225 v6, '82 CJ5 D30 wt axle with flipped tie-rod and drag link and about a 2" lift.

 

The P/S was already installed when I bought the CJ5. There is a small notch cut in the left motor mount for the shaft from the column to the box.

 

Heck, I too embarassed to show my set up...is so darn covered with caked mud and pieces of crud. Time to go back to my power washer and get the wife to clean my Jeep up! Yeah right.... Maybe I can get my Giant Schnauzer to help me? Great pictures you guys! Good workmanship for sure!

 

Ironically, I was just doing a search on this subject, and I found this link. Thanks to all those for their contributions with write-ups and pictures. Now I know what I am looking forward to.
