Sheppard steering gearbox

Post by oldcobia »

Had to take my 95 in because of leaking steering gearbox. Mine is Sheppard M80. Been in shop for a month now. Was told shipping issues. Now replacement is a M100 and only difference is turning radius. Does this sound legit?

I can't speak to whether the M100 will directly replace the M80 but I would not buy an 'off the shelf' steering box. Much better to send yours out to be rebuilt by Redhead Steering Gear. You will get a much higher quality product for less than half the cost.

Called Redhead. Said they don’t really work on large steering gearbox. But thanks.

Really? I just had my M80 rebuilt by them last summer.
