Service Dept Vic,
I am also a newbie on here and have virtually the same question.
I recently ordered new parts for a L245 rebuild kit believing that since the box was supposed to be the same as the L295DT all new parts should work (in theory) well, everything I have been told and have read is WRONG! nothing fits, the only consistency is overall steering shaft length.
So, my question to you before I go further with modifying this thing is, Can you still get any internal parts to rebuild this steering box? What I need is (bottom section of replaceable steering shaft, the worm gear part. Ball nut with tubes and balls. Bearings. oil seals and gaskets) that is all I really need to make it live again.
I appreciate any assistance you or anyone else can give me.
John
