Hello all, has anyone used the steer clutch springs from general gear? I got my order of disks and springs Friday the replacements look like die springs the pressure checks @ 220lbs aprox on the springs but the 62 year oem rusty ones checked 250 to 285 @3 11/6 inch, oem spec shows 235 to 265 thats only 66% im concerned any input would be appreciated. the unit is a 62 or 63  hd11e.

In general General Gear gets good reviews. But If you have specs for springs and a way to test them it make sense to check. No matter how hard one tries most stuff comes from China.


I had a new to me 1950's  Cat D6. Steering fine until it was not. Pull one steering clutch and you stopped. I want to say springs were less than 1/2 of spec.  But my tester was not the greatest. Set a bathroom scale in my hydraulic press, pressed spring to what ever the length for spec was. Read what the bathroom scale read.

That is certainly a substantial difference. I bought new ones at Fresno Tractor years back, might be worth a try.
