Good question Dave. The steering gear box housing parts appear to be original and have Fords typical markings stamped on them.

The worm gear, which is welded to the steering shaft, has no markings.

The gear nut is made from what appears to be a brass alloy. It is quite crude with processing marks all over the sides, but no numbers.

The Pittman arm bearings are tight with no leaks.

The top and bottom shaft bearings look good. Neither the worm gear or the gear nut have significant wear

The break is about 3 inches above the worm gear. It appears that improper tempering methods were used when welding the worm gear to the shaft as the metal in that area is blackish and not a metallic color as is the rest of the shaft.
