Ross steering gear service manual

Post by wesk »

High folks. I was doing a wee bit of web surfing a few days ago and stumbled on this manual for sale:

I uploaded it to our downloads page at M series general manuals:

Thanks Wes! I just finished mine yesterday, but haven't installed it yet (maybe today). I used the TM9-8015-2 - pretty much the same info, but it's nice to have specific manuals for each assembly (for me anyway) - nice to have a factory manual too.

If you read the lubrication page they make it very clear the box was designed to be used with a gear oil. EP was ok as long as it was not corrosive and of course did not attack the bronze bushings. The #2 chassis grease was only allowed for military use.

How come the posting dates seem to be a day in the future? Even the use of GMT isn't enough to explain the posting times.
