Richard thats a world of information I didn't have, thank you. I'm going to call Newell on Monday and see if they have an old box or any information for me on getting one.
When at Josam they left the tag axle switch in the up position and I asked Barry what the beeping noise was, he came out and the coach was on the exit side of Josam so he put it in gear and was going to drive it back around the front to the entrance side, he turned the wheel till it hit the mechanical limits and said THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT, IT SHOULD MAKE THIS TURN he had to make a two point turn. I said did you check the pitman arm its half size of normal, they had not looked at it. It drives like it should but I have to put to much movement in the wheel to correct or make a turn then it hits the steering box limit. I will jack up the front and turn the wheel and check the amount of travel of the steering spindles and how close they are to the stop. Perhaps its just to short a pitman arm but the box is not the same and there is no adjustment on the worm gear.
