International 434 Tractor steering box

So....what do we have here?? Well it's old & not working so we best take a look see what's failed...
It's not often we get a chance to work on old tractor components so when I was asked to see if it could be repaired I jumped at the chance, I always enjoy been a part of a restoration project, in this case saving an old tractor from the wreckers...
Enjoy

almost looks like the thread on the top needs to be longer for more pre load

[@rogerheaps9363]

Surely it'll do a few days a year?

[@derekcrane7945]

Did you receive the manual I emailed? I've also got the Operators Manual in English, plus the 'Livret d'entretien' in French, both for the B-414.

Good morning Derek, yes, huge Thank You for sending this over, it will be incredibly helpful with this little project. I'll get it printed out & bound ready for the next Episode.
Are you okay for me to put it in a Google drive for viewers to access?
Thanks again :-)
Andy

@@AndyMechanic No problem at all, I obtained it from someone else online. I checked and K T Country Machinery no longer exists.
Do you want the B-414 ones as well?
