Saginaw #76

I have a steering box that I need to rebuild. It has a S on the casting and in another spot it it has a 76 on it. My question is what is it so I can get a rebuild kit for it. Thanks

 

Have a look here

They didn't have it. They have 83 and 84. Mine has 76. Thanks for trying. I will contact them and see if they know what it is.

Probably no good at all. Just send it to me and I'll take care of it

 

That's the same gear I have on my 3b. It came from an 86 GW. A YJ box is the same. I replaced some seals on my box and used this kit.

The "76" box was one of their heavier duty versions. I don't recall any more what the specifics were on it, but it was better than the standard boxes. At least that's what the magazine writers of the 90's said.

 

I believe you will find that the 76 is a series 800 box,4 bolt mount, inverted flare fittings and 13/16-36 input configuration. Take some measurements to confirm. You will have to count the input revolutions to determine the "quickness" of the gear...it should be about 4 to 4 1/2 turns lock to lock.
As jeepermc mentioned, these were considered the most desirable gear back in the day.
