Geoff Weeks Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Your's had the two set screws? The one in the weeds I posted does also (you'll notice the arm is still on that one!) The one the cabover took had the big Allen head bolt in the center. I had a hardend 3/4" drive socket to get it out. Look for punch marks (or make them) to be sure to get it back on in the same orientation, although some will only fit in one place. I used a big bearing splitter behind the arm and a puller to pull it off as I didn't have a gear puller of the correct size. I think getting the set screws to come out after all these years would be the worse part of the job. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-534415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Oh boy, My guess is if they no longer deal in them, that the parts supply has dried up. I think the place mine was sent to for rebuild was: https://www.pss1.com/ If they tell you the same, I would guess time has run out on them. I don't remember when I had mine done, it might have been 7 years ago or more. I just don't remember. Might contact RH Sheppard direct and see what they say. https://www.rhsheppard.com/products-services/products/remanufactured-parts/ Edited July 9, 2023 by Geoff Weeks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-534474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Kind of makes me wonder why I didn’t have it done a long time ago had the damn thing almost 30 years i’m sure a 1995 I could’ve got one anywhere Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-534484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I saw S&S had kits, then noticed the date on the .pdf (2016)! My 1989 had one from the factory, a little while later they came with either TRW or M-100 box, so I am guessing they went out of production around 1990. I was at the RH Sheppard factory sometime in the 90's, all I saw was wall to wall gear boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-534490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 As I mentioned I would rather just replace it with something else Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-534493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Called an outfit yesterday in San Jose about Shepard parts. He said yeah, he has all kinds of them but he needs more information on the box. I’ll let you know what I come up with. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-538721 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I did they said yes we do not rebuild them anymore but we do have a lot of parts for them. Just need more numbers off the box. I will do that Saturday weekdays. I am too busy. Thanks again for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-538765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Wasn’t sure if I was clear on that. Their website stated they do not rebuild them anymore but when I talk to them they said yes we still have lots of parts for them so I’m glad the shop boss suggested I call them. And yes, he was quite familiar with the place.

mowerman Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 OK I will check the steering box both sides. It says absolutely nothing but 392. On both sides. I can’t find anything else on it. I’ll call them again tomorrow morning and tell them that.

mowerman Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Well, I called him back this morning. He said send me a picture of the box and I will tell you where to look for it still says 392 is not enough information so I sent them four photos let’s see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-539023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything made by man can be re made by man, all it takes is money. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72901-steering-box-issue/page/4/#findComment-539801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
