Anyone fitted a major power steering kit to a 510e/590e 6cyl conversion? Not tried yet but basically been told a super 6 has the belt, pump and fan 1 inch more forward and the side rails are 11" longer to allow this because the rubber damper on the main belt pulley but ive just about finished mine e...

Hello just wandering what are the different ideas about for doing it, like: -any pictures of the new kit available fitted on a tractor? -any pictures of how county did it for the industrial Dexta's? -any pictures of some homemade kits? Want something that will keep the hand throttle seperate, have b...

I was thinking of putting a bigger engine In a dexta one day. The engines id think would work would be a small 4 cylinder turbo perkins like fitted to jcb robots which would be a bit longer than original engine but will push out about double the HP or a small v6 which in theory should be same length...
