Had a bucket load of rocks in my 641 Ford and was backing up a hill when my steering shaft broke. You know, the one connected to the steering wheel. Long story short-the gearbox and shaft looked new so why did it break. Called B&M tractor parts in Taylor, TX and ordered a new one. They told me these boxes were being rebuilt using inferior metal for that shaft. I'm not a metalurgist(don't even know how to spell it) but the metal where my shaft broke looked bad. It appreared to have been broken almost all the way through when it was formed and was hanging on by a 1/4 inch piece which finally let go. The purpose of this post is to just make you aware that there is some bad rebuilt steering boxes out there. I've got a Ponderosa tree with a big divot in it to show what can happen. Of course it could have been worse.
