Topic: gemmer adjustment question

  Good Morning all

I rebuilt a gemmer box that is in my 36 and when adjusting the center mid position with a slight drag - when turning full travel left or right lock i can shake the pitman arm at its end about 3/16" if i turn the roller shaft in at the ends it binds in the center.

I know the worm is set up to have more tention in the center but the difference from center to full travel left or right seems excessive

and yes the shaft end play just right with a minimum drag with the sector adj backed off

any insight would be apreciated !

thanks

Chris

  Sounds right to me, but I am not the ultimate expert. Ask the question on the Ford barn.
