Hard to tell, but I don't see any metal joint hangers, looks like wood to wood joints only, not very strong

Can't figure why, but it's sideways

Got them out! Used a 3/8x1/2 inch flat bar, 6ft long, gave me a better angle then the 3/4 pipe Cleaned retainers, cleaned bushings, look fine will test for feel tomorrow Need to get some RTV all I got left is the adhesive sealant....and it's not quite rated for grease and gear oil

I agree, as straight as they were, those were pretty good examples. I have one I will replace the top portion due to rust, I feel with the number I see without tailgate means one more part that can be rescued Table does look nice though

so started cleaning outer knuckles, pretty close to done, final wipe they should be good to go. then went at the seal retainer and seal, thinking 'Oh, I have access to a 7 lb slide hammer, this will be easy"...NOPE, tried a rod through the axle, no cigar can't get the right angle, even prying at...

So got most of the old grease/dirt/oil off with pressure washer yesterday, cleaned the inside knuckle portion tonight, both sides. Will clean the outer knuckles, re-inspect kingpin bushings tomorrow. Maybe assemble if my boots arrive

Oh yeah, meant to post this yesterday, but this is the seal from the steering box, rock hard, and the box was peeling paint, so definitely think the seal got scorched with the electrical fire

Ordered some Silicone one piece boots, reviews seem to say these are just a little better then the zippered ones, don't dryrot in a few months, but prone to tears...we shall see, hate AfterMarket stuff, but NOS stuff doesn't do well with time either. so got the knuckles torn down all the way...

yeah, I pretty sure these are the same as the M715. They are Safety Split rings, meaning less chance of blowout Vs traditional split rims. the tire bead actually goes over part of the ring and when the ring is seated in the rim, it really has no where to go. Still dangerous though at first...

Pulled steering box, tight, no perceptible play in the box, looked good inside as well, so I will do just a seal and use a 00 grease. maybe try and fit two seals, using one of the ones cross referenced to civilian, so thinner then Military, this should give a good oil seal, and a dust seal, if...

So got my Front seals, Remote brake reservoir and Airpack rebuild kit today. cleaned up and painted the second brake on the rear axles, finish up tomorrow with assembly, then onto the fronts and one more thing with the steering box seal, didn't even think about it till I was investigating how...

yup, saw that, posted in it too. like I said I will need to see how much slop is in the box when I pull it(will be using a semi-liquid grease anyways), but when I drove the truck, and in the shop, you touch the steering wheel. pretty much moves the wheels with barely any play, nice and tight...

Git a little more done, got more parts on the way. Been pretty busy trying to get my jeep back on the road. Once brakes are done, have to finish my engine tune up. Also Have to check out steering box too, left a nice puddle on the garage floor; got some seals for that, I'll have to see how...

Sorry, you are right. Either way you should get the safety glass

its best to get tempered anyways. I've personally had a non tempered windsheild(Old VW bus) break in my face going 50 down the highway. small pebble got kicked up. NOT fun, got a bunch of scratches

ok so probably the same as mine, although my pads weren't too bad, measuring you could tell the difference hard to see. my guess is a PO didn't know correct adjustment only adjusted top, thus making it narrow along the top/middle, fat at the bottom. as we adjust the bottom then go to the...

My brakes were the same way so I adjusted bottom, turned top till drum wouldn't spin, backed off the bottom till it did, turned the top some more...repeat until I got. 015 top and bottom Sorry, misread your post. Do your bottom adjusters freely spin? Only reason you might not get close is your...

Thanks guys, like I said my dad had access to a bunch of Ross parts so if it needs a rebuild, then I should be able get the correct parts

Bringing this thread back, but does any one have the P/N for out put seals? My truck is leaking bad now, and my Dad's work has access to Ross Steering Rebuild kits, seals etc. so having a number would be quicker, but if not we will try just using the cast numbers on the box to start, pull the...

probably gear oil. when was the last time oil/ bearing grease checked? once you jack it up you can try to feel for play using the tire, best to have two people on the front, to make sure tie rods, kingpins don't have a lot of slop. if your kingpin bushing is toast(more then 1/16" of play I...
