My Ford 8N steering box just went bad. It has the early style 4 bolt steering box. It appears that no one offers a rebuilt unit like this so I figure I will replace it with a later style 2 bolt unit. Yesterdaystractors has these units available and it states it will fit the early 8N model but I will just need to swap the drag links (I assume they mean the adjustable steering rods) from side to side. A few other outfits selling the later style boxes also state that I can install it in place of an older version box, but that I will need to replace the two drag links. Can anyone explain to me what the problem is with just putting the same drag links back in the same place? And the text "swap the drag links from side to side" are we talking the entire unit (drag link tube with both drag link ends) from the right side to left and left to right?
