Hydro-static power steering system is a complete power steering system in which there is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels, which allows the steering wheel to be turned with only one or two fingers.
- Page 38 Chapter 19 Hydrostatic Power Steering System A. Neutral Oil Flow When Tractor is Moving Straight : This is the neutral position of the steering unit. In this position the oil flows from the hydraulic pump to the steering unit, and because of the oil spool and sleeve hole being in straight position the oil returns to the steering pump.
- Page 39 Chapter 19 Hydrostatic Power Steering System B. Turning of the Steering when the Engine is Running : On first movement of the steering wheel the right and left turning holes become straight with each other, so that oil can be supplied to the oil hand pump. Subsequently, the second movement turns the steering and the hand pump.
