I should have explained that first I suppose. I only mentioned them because I know they are out there. I stole his idea and converted a couple machines we had. Completely doing away with the need for a steering pump. When he did he installed the fitting in the side of the reverser valve body and updated his steering as well as getting his power assist back. His steering pump had went out and he had removed it. I've also ran into one that had been converted by the owner. For the most part all straight 350s will have the steering assist pump. I've only seen two and at first glance you would swear they were 350Bs. My guess would be right before the 350B was introduced. We're not supposed to know that and Deere denies ever having done it. Deere had a few of these "Special Customers" that would try new things out in the real world before production ever came out. They were probably handled through "Special Customers". The straight 350s with this configuration would be really rare and very late straight 350s. I don't think I left any thing out but maybe some of these other guys can help with your answer. There are a few older machines, either with or without a reverser that will have a power steering pump mounted on the front of the engine that supplies the hydraulic pressure for the steering assist cylinders. On a few straight 350s and most 350B models, which have dry clutches, the reverser supplies hydraulic pressure to steering assist cylinders that help in steering effort at the levers. On older dry clutch machines, there is a mechanical pressure plate that engages the clutch packs. The 350C and 350D have wet or oil bath clutches and brakes. The reverser used in the C and D models supply the hydraulic pressure needed to engage the clutch packs on these models. But, with a few minor modifications you can install one from a straight 350 into a 350C or a 350D. There are a few little things that are different from the Straight 350 through 350D models. The reverser is identical for the most part in any model that it is in.
