Steering stabilizer kit

Windecker Machine of Weyburn, Sask., has designed a steering stabilizer kit that fits Dodge 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickups made from 1994 to 2002, and 2500 and 3500 pickups made from 2003 to the present.

The kit is designed to solve steering problems and worn-out sector shaft bearings and eliminate wandering and sloppy steering that can result from trailer towing, hauling heavy loads and using accessories such as campers and snow plows.

The kit is designed to provide additional support of the steering sector shaft and eliminate sector shaft play in the steering box. It also helps keep the pick-up frame from flexing at the steering box mounting point.

The stabilizer kit uses existing mounting holes and adds an outboard support bearing to the sector shaft. Nearly all the sector shaft load is carried by this outboard bearing, reducing wear and tear on the steering box.

The kit uses laser cut, CNC bent parts with a gloss black powder coated finish. All mounting hardware is made from Grade 8 steel.

Installation takes about a half hour and requires no drilling or welding.

The company also offers a retrofit kit for 1994 to 2002 Dodge pickups to allow use of a factory Dodge 2003 rubber bushed track bar. The steering stabilizer sells for $149 US plus shipping and handling and comes with a money-back guarantee.

For information, contact Marvin Windecker, Box 173, Weyburn, Sask., S4H 2J9, phone 306 842-3790 or visit www.solidsteel.ca.

Pulse seed treatment

Apron Maxx RTA seed treatment for pulse and bean crops has received approval to add three new diseases to its label.

This makes Apron Maxx RTA the most comprehensive, broadest spectrum pulse and bean seed treatment on the market, the manufacturer says.

The new label approvals include control of seed rot and seedling blight caused by Phomopsis spp in soybeans and control of seed-borne ascochyta blight and botrytis in chickpeas and lentils.

Apron Maxx RTA is a water-based, ready-to-apply seed treatment that can be applied on-farm or in commercial treating facilities. It’s registered for use on chickpeas, lentils, soybeans, dry beans and dry peas.

The treatment is inoculant-friendly, so growers can treat their seed for protection against early season disease attack and inoculate in one operation.
