You might also wish to upgrade to the M809 truck series steering. The M54s were upgraded to the newer steering found on the M809 series when they went through depot rebuilds.

This is what I am going to do on Swiss's 55 m62 due to the leak issue, we have rebuilt then replaced the cylinder and valve, STILL have leaks at the valve, so the word was ---- it time for a upgrade, I think we have everything needed, just have to fine time.

Thank you guys so much! It's been hard finding stuff for this box

 

[M54NORCAL]

Country....my box looks nothing like those.. it's up high.. with big cylinder on top..i don't have a picture on my phone. It sits off the frame next to engine on a cast mount.. Thank you

I'm guessing you have this?

 

[M54NORCAL]

Red!! That is it my nan!!! I need one of those rebuilt or all the seals.. thank you guys so much! What is that unit called?

 

[acesneights1]

Change it to an M809 setup. That is what my M52a2 had and it steered like a dream.

 

[M54NORCAL]

Cost and write ups on it?

Would be more expensive to convert to the 809 setup than to rebuild what you have.

We have 1 or 2 of these in stock NOS, as I posted earlier

$595

Thank you country i will call you on lunch

Kublos surplus might have something too. He might have the whole 809 series power steering unit for a reasonable price if you are looking to convert to a new style.

 

[M54NORCAL]

I would but the stock works so well now...just started weeping

 

[acesneights1]

Can't help you there. Mine was converted when I got it. Looks like a much simpler setup but like you said, cost could be a factor.

 

[M54NORCAL]

I ordered a NOS original style gear. Thank you all so much! It's hard finding anyone willing to help or have knowledge on my machine. You guys are awesome!
