timing the steering box
« on: January 23, 2010, 12:47:02 PM »
I am seeking information on the steering system of a 9N. The one i have has issues with the timing of the steering, thus causing one of the front tires to severly toe in. If anyone out there has any information that they would like to pass along concerning this subject, I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

It's been a while, but I believe when you rebuild the steering box all one does is (with drag links disconnected) move one sector arm all the way back and the other all the way forward.  Note when the sectors lose mesh with the steering shaft gear, then move them back in carefully so that the shaft gear catches the first tooth of each sector at same time. 

Hope this helps,
