Anyone know of a place that might have a steering box or internal parts for a steering box for an Oliver 550, non power steering ? Guy I know that has one says it won't turn to the left, thinks the worm gear and balls are wore out. I guess he had it apart years ago and they were bad then. I seem to remember seeing pix of the balls in a steering box before but don't remember what it was on.

Any help appreciated.

Warren

Korves Bros over by Waterloo, IL are the best in the world. If you're looking for used, Ollie Schaffer at Greenville, IL. In PA try Landis Zimmerman although he does mostly crawlers.

Bit of follow up, got the steering box back together yesterday, just needed the top bearing. Was fun fishing the rollers out of the steering box. It's good and clean now !

Got to noticing the spindles while testing the box, whole front end needs rebuilt now ! Can't see all the play when the weight is on it ! Gonna set it up to run the buzz saw and then pull it apart to see just what is in it. Book shows a bearing and a bushing !

Always something...
