Keeping wheel centered !!
Installed an Isotta wheele ( the one that is flattened at the bottom ) with the hydrolic imco steering system its always off center after a run....guess i should have done some research !! However before buying a new round wheele, ANYONE have advice on how to return a wheele to center with hydrolic steering ?????? guy with the crooked wheele !!
|
As far as I know its almost impossible to keep it centered all the time. My advice is don't worry about it. Just my .02

If it is a hydraulic helm it is impossible.

Buy a steering wheel that is symetrical all the way around so you don't notice it.

when i redid the dash in the cafe, i didnt even think about it... thats how dumb i am....:evilb::evilb: what i always did when i shut it down at the dock, i would always turn the wheel the way it was supposed to go.... this way i looked like i knew what i was doing.... after a while, it became second nature.... the wheel looks so much better than most, it looks better upside down, then most do upright.....lol |
maybe except that one time on the right....:evilb:
|
The wheel is always off in my backhoe. Damit....

I don't know if this works or not, but I ran across this post about centering the wheel.

ON the IMCO full hydraulic system you simply take the wheel to the stops (whil;e counting the turns) and hold it. The pressure relief valve opens; you count the turns back to center: and voila! wheel is centered.
The wheels cget out of alignment due to the pounding they take and the relief valve is constanly opening a tad bit eventually causing the alignment to get out of whack... |
BGIII, Makes sense. probably can center it that way it may take more than one try. Then next time you use it you will likely need to do it again.
I think there are better things to spend your time on then centering the wheel. |
