Need steering help

You need a special rotary union coupler device.  Its made from unobtainium.  They are VERY expensive new, but I see them on Ebay from time to time for pennies on the dollar! sm06

I see that it is a variable/shuttle drive- "varuttle".   Varuttles are tricky to steer,  you put the shuttle into reverse at the same time you push the variable forward and ...no wait I think that is how you do an instant high speed reverse.   Maybe you put the variable transmission into reverse, while pulling the shuttle into reverse, and the whole works spins around...I think.  sm00

Perhaps a power steering ram and setup to have it articulate at the pivot?  How are you going to power the BGB's with the way they are set up?

I put two cub cadet hydro rear ends  together

one in front of the other

cub hydros have input and output shafts

mine drives thru the rear of one 

and out the input shaft 

a PTO shaft with two universals drives the second hydro thru the output shaft

i have two hydraulic pumps

one on front rear end input shaft

to power loader

second one is mounted on 23 hp Vanguard 

this drives the steering valve that powers  two steering cylinders

it moves the whole rear end

very difficult to sync front and rear transmissions 

especially when turning

had foot control for forward /reverse

too touchy

have hand control now

That's how Power Trac does it - a ram on each side, at an angle.... But be aware that hydraulic steering wheel valves are quite expensive.,. much more so than joystick loader valves, for example.
