today i painted the other side of the draglinks and tie rod, then i took my stearing box appart, and clean it some , found out it had a tab welded on the box , so i shoveled a little to get to see the box on my other truck and it was te same exxcept the tab was welded all crooked, so i decided to keep it as it make the box more sturdy and no crak are showing on the casing, must have been a modification by the army, since i found a tag on the box that said it had been rebuilt in september 74 by a mj..., then when i went to install the drag link i found out my new clip where to short ,so i will have to hunt down some proper one..
anyway here are a few pics!  painted drag links and tie rod, i had to mix 3 and a half once of paint to finish it!  and while i am at it here is my mini paint boot!  the stearing box in pieces!  the welded tab on the stearing box  the state of my part truck  a little shoveling  and the same tab is on the part truck , must be a mod made later to prevent the box from cracking  assembled idler assemblie  good fit but thestrap to hold the dust cover are to short...will have toget longuer one  and on the truck to come out again.... paul from sormany now!

today i sarted by sanding and cleaning the stearing box parts, then i primed them, after that i draged the ball of grease that my transfert case was and i started taking it appart, one of the bearing came appart on me so now i will have to line up about 100 little roller darn it!, i guess they where made like that back then, no cage to support the roller , everything in the transfer case look good and all the bearing and race seem fine, i also fiddled with the horn wire, i managed to save the connector on both end of the rotten wire as well as the number tag and i made a new horn wire since the old one was all rotten, i soldered the end on.
anyhow , enuf talking here are a few pics! clean power stearing parts!  clean worm gear and cover  ball of grease!   ever wonder waths inside one of them t-case!  brand new horn wire! with all proper fitting and tag!  and some primed hardware and parts!  now i have to rest my old back! later!

here are a few pics , some are of some marking on the casing, including the date it was casted! the surprise! can you see what solvent has done to the pump!  a clean casing  stamped ratio!  casting date 11-2-1954!  i do not know what these mean  an even cleaner casing  the two parts i have left for tomorow  clean guts!  high temperature paint on the casing  paul from sormany

Paul,
we had the same problem after our supplier sent us "gun" cleaner as in paint gun! He warrantied the pump and apologised. How do those tyres affect the gearing, wont they be a bit loud? R
