tried to turn the wheel in the mornig on the 66, but it inly turned in one
direction.  It has not got much above freezing the past week or so.  I put
the halogen work light under the bus shing on the steering box, and after a
while lo and behold, it turned!

This is the same bus that had water and gook in the trans from sitting in the
low part of a field that flooded last winter.  a tiny light shone in my brain
- water in the steering box hm.....

now that the water is drained out and replaced with gear oil, it works a lot
better.

I think it will be standard operating procedure from now on to change the
steering gear oil on a new bus, along with  trans oil, check boots, and
usually a complete brake rebuild.

btw, the trans works great, feels tight and shift easy.  The gear oil has
been changed a second time.
