<VV> Reversed FR steering box No Corvair

[Ebarr19 at aol.com]

Back when I was a lad on the farm in Illinois, the farmer next to us was  
driving his case tractor with the steering arm along side of the tractor down 
 the lane between the two farms and for some reason it slipped on the shaft 
 and he turned right and it went left through our fence ( I did not see it 
first  hand but my Dad did).

--  FR steering box.  Amusing aside -- the first box I received was  
reversed
so when steering right the car turned left.  Glad I caught it  before I hit
the road.  :)

**************************************Smitty says;  Many  years ago I built 
a
feather weight 14 ft boat from scratch.  Built my  own Fwd steering system.
40 HP Merc outboard.  Virgin run, I put it in  the water alongside my dock
and walked it down the dock to deeper water and  tied it to the head of the
dock parallel to the beach.  Got in it and  fired it up.  Put it in gear and
shoved the throttle home.  It  literally leapt out of the water and was on a
plane in about 20 ft.   Then I made a steering correction.  I thought it was
going to eat me  alive, as I had the steering reversed.  My suggestion from
the  experience is, don't ever do that.
