Steering Gear Box
I'm the prowd new owner of #266 1991 Newell. I am in need of the part # for the steering gear box. At this point Newell is unable to provide this information. I deal with TRW & Sheppard in my business, but I can not identify this box without removing it. I am a fulltimer, so I want to have a replacement before the old one is removed.
Thanks
Gordon

Welcome Gordon and congratulations on your 'new' Newell. I am very pleased to have another fulltimer here.
I fully understand the desire to have the steering gear box on hand before starting the replacement process. Unfortunately I have nothing in my files that gives a number for that part. I am a little surprised that Newell was not able to help on that one. I have been lucky to have Newell provide either the part or part information on so many parts that most RV manufacturers would have not been able to provide.
I will be happy to check for a number on mine but if it isn't obtainable without removal, I will be out of luck.
I will crawl under the front of my coach in the morning and check.

Gordon, I crawled under my coach this morning and that number is in a hard place to get to but I was able to stick my camera up in there and get a photo of the drivers side of the gear box. On my 1992, the steering gear box is a Ross HFB702888.
Click HERE for some info on the Ross/TRW gearboxes including the HFB70 series.
Hope that helps.

Michael, thank you for the extraordinary effort. Turns out that part # is a casting #. After discussions with people in the industry, I was able to find the # 381 stamped in the bottom cover of my unit. That make the actual part # HBF70381. I'm doing a little more home work before I order the part.
Again
Thanks
Gordon
