I have had Sheppard power steering on my 06 for past ten years works good. you will need the steerin gear unit,a 2380206 tube assy (drag Link), 1 ea 2244570 U bolt (MCI # 07-300-01), about 70 inches of # 8 Air quip hose,Rethread old U bolts down to 5 1/2,make new bracket for air level valve on new steering gear.If you do not have the steel line from front axle to engin compartment you have a big problem??. the
engin will need a hydrolic pump mounted on the adapter at end of the blower then a oil tank and filter and more hoses. Mabe $2000.00 a good stary |

Some folks choose the Air O Matic , which is enough assist for parking, but does not change (reduce) the number of turns lock to kock.
A fellow at Jacks Bus Gathering had one for about $400 to sell, but I don't know how to contact him.
Perhaps A WANTED in the flea market would surface the unit.

I changed the Vickers power assist to a Sheppard on our 4106. It was eazy.
In your case you need the sheppard unit and a power steering pump. You will have to run hydrolic lines from the engine, but not a major problem.
Call Nimco and they will send you a change over kit which should include a drag link, sheppard box, and pump.
Good luck |
