Well in doing my part to keep this forum alive, I thought I would share this springs project.
The age old issue with a leaky steering box.
Over the course of the winter , I had started ole Stix Mixer just to excercise her lungs and to fill the garage with diesel fumes.
After running it for a while , letting things get up to temp I moved back and forth to make sure brakes weren't stuck to the drums , then shut it down.
Nothing unusual, until the next morning I was heading out with my personal truck and saw a lot of oil all under the left front axle . Well sure enough it was just running out of the output shaft on the steering box.
I had resealed this once before, about 5 years ago, and I did the best I could to clean up the area on the output shaft that rides on the seal.
Guess I didn't do good enough.
All that to get to this:
I remember another member had put a post on here about removing the box and packing it up and shipping it to RH Sheppard.
I called their reman center and they were very helpful.
Mind you not a lot of hard parts are left for the old 92 series boxes,
But they did reseal it and did have a new shaft to install .
I sent it out, and had it back in a week .
I have just about got it all back together.
