Steering sector has about 3 1/2" of play; bolt w/locknut has been adjusted in to the max; anyone know of a parts supply that carries these? Can these be sent to a machine shop to be remade?


Thanks

Boy I don't know. When mine gave it up I replaced with a box out of a '59 F500 that was sitting in a local wrecking yard. I wish you luck.

 

Thanks Mark: I will see if I can find one, very rare.

That steering box was the same for many years. Have you checked with Ford? Also Joblot may have parts for a model that will fit.

It looks like it had different steering boxes for F-600:

59/60 F500/600

4M, 4.7 M front axle utilizes B7Y-3575A sector shaft and a 1 ton 59/60 3.8 gemmer steering used the same sector. So you could find a 59/60 1 ton with 3.8 gemmer steering it uses the exact same box and shaft.

If it is a F-600 that uses a

6M front axle B7Q 3575-A sector shaft

I bought a new old stock shaft for my truck 60 4x4 from Dennis Carpenter. I e-mailed them and they got back with me within a few days.

I looked in my JoBlot catalog and they list a new old stock sector shaft for B7Y-3575A for $295.00, spendy but NOS. (718) 468-8585. I bought from them and have not been disappointed.

Good luck

 

thanks for the replies, will check

 

Here is another possibility...If you can find just a matching roller, you can press off the old one and press on the new.

Edit: see post below
