How to lube a steering box

Is there a way to add oil to the steering box? Mine is getting a bit stiff.


What YEAR Bus is this on??

Guess that would be good to know

Lift up the cover plate (between the pedals) for the steering column. There should be a plug in the gearbox cover. Buses use 90W Hypoid oil to refill.

Speedy, I imagine that to be the same on the 68' also, right?

Yeah, should be the same.

P.S. Whilst in there, have a look at the rubber coupling; the coupling is over a qtr-century old by now!
