Steering box ID

Lumbersawyer · Sep 18, 2021

I am going to install a different steering box on my C allis. I removed it from a C that had been converted to wide front. It has an arm that has a tie rod like the C uses and comes off the bottom like a B steering box. It should work well and I can use my C drag link arm and it will be a nice improvement for my C with an B adjustable wide front. Can anybody recognize this steering box.

Looks like a Gemmer box, both it and the Ross were used

If your C isn't a wide front, thats gonna steer backwards.

My C has a B adjustable wide front on it. I made the original Ross steering work by bending the drag link. I think the gear box I'm installing will be a big improvement in how it looks. I do not think its an Allis B gear box, there are no markings on it. It will be mounted with some flat straps and the side support bracket. The steering tube goes into the adjusting nut with a nice fit. The internal bearings are ball bearing thrust type not Timken cone and cup. There is no lash in it, nice and tight no free play. I've looked at the internet and have not seen any steering boxes that have the big adjusting nut like this one.

I removed the arm today to center it in its stroke. It did have some numbers on it.

I cleaned it to be able to see the numbers with a sanding sponge.
Does anyone recognize this number?
