excavator Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I have a Sheppard 492 s 5 steering box that I removed because seal behind pitman arm is leaking.

Rob Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) I'm thinking that series was done away with or upgraded and is not really supported any longer with parts. I could be wrong too.

Blacktop Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 My best friend retired from Sheppard in 2013 I believe. The factory was located in I believe Hanover, PA or that general area. Unfortunately he passed away in 2015 so I can't get any more information about their boxes. I assume they are still in business as they made other products besides steering boxes. I hope this was of some help.
