Speakking of Steering Boxes . . .
I may have misunderstood Jesse's phone message. I don't think the
series 60 has the Parker Filter. I called parts to get pricing and
part #'s and was told the S60 had no inline filter.

Waiting for Tech to call me back to clarify and with spec.'s on fluid
capacity and proper technique on evacuating and replacing hydraulic
fluid.
