Got a backhoe loader that needs a new steering unit and I keep seeing the 261-1252-002 come up. That the right part for that kind of machine?

Backhoe loaders are one of the listed applications for this unit, so you're on the right track. It's a Danfoss Power Solutions Steering Control Unit built under the Char-Lynn name, and it's part of the Series 110, 230, and 450 platform. The 45 LPM max flow rate and the low torque shaft seal make it a solid fit for that kind of work, where you want smooth steering response without putting extra strain on the operator.
