Description
When your Ford 40 Series starts feeling like you’re wrestling it down the row instead of steering it, and you catch the telltale shine of hydraulic fluid under the front axle, it’s time to address those worn power steering ram seals. This comprehensive seal kit is specifically designed for Ford New Holland 40 Series tractors equipped with Carraro power steering systems, giving you everything needed to rebuild your steering ram and restore that smooth, responsive control you depend on.
What You’re Getting
- Complete seal set designed specifically for Carraro power steering rams
- High-pressure hydraulic seals built to handle the demands of farm work
- Quality seals that resist temperature extremes and hydraulic fluid breakdown
- All internal and external seals needed for a complete ram rebuild
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Ford 40 Series tractors are serious workhorses, whether you’re running a 5640 for hay operations or pushing an 8340 through heavy tillage work. The Carraro power steering system in these machines was built to handle the punishment, but after years of pressure cycles and temperature swings, seals wear out. This kit brings your steering back to factory specs so you can focus on the job instead of fighting the wheel.
Made to Last
These aren’t bargain seals that’ll leave you doing this job again next season. They’re manufactured to handle the high pressures and harsh conditions your steering system sees every day. Quality materials resist the breakdown that comes from heat, cold, and constant hydraulic fluid exposure.
Installation Notes
Rebuilding a steering ram takes patience and cleanliness—contamination is the enemy of seals. Remove the ram for bench work, document everything with photos before disassembly, and inspect the cylinder bore for scoring. Use proper seal installation tools and fresh hydraulic fluid during assembly. Always bleed the system thoroughly after installation to prevent air pockets that cause jerky steering.
