Saw this and thought it might be of interest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Rh5_AvnS4
I'm wondering where the oil feed pipes go to :? Does anyone know if this is a common type of ram (i.e. would be a relatively inexpensive upgrade)?

Redgiant,
Appears quite similar to the one I installed on my 62 Super Dexta. The oil feed lines are going to a pump. The kit I bought was quite reasonable, but the guy was trying to clear them out. Kits are still available from several vendors, but all the ones I have seen come from the same manufacturer. (http://www.powersteeringkit.com/index.html) However all is not as it seems in the kit. It is from Turkey and only comes with a few pictures and no real instructions. Some modifications are required. It makes life with my front loader a lot easier.

I thought about one of these but I can't see the track rod running across the front axel lasting long, it's in a prime place for damage.

It is not very substantial at all. Plus there isn't enough offset to clear the oil sump. I had to make one out of 1 inch round stock.
