Inside: hydraulic schematics for the complete power steering circuit (control valve, flow divider, hand pump, steering cylinder), wiring diagrams spanning the generator, alternator, regulator, and starter, plus a full hydraulic lift troubleshooting section with pump testing procedures. You also get injection pump timing procedures, cam follower clearances, cylinder sleeve fits, and overhaul sequences for the transmission, differential, and final drive. On the B-275, set the hydraulic relief valve spring to 3-7/8 in. free length; the B-414, 354, 364, and 384 run 1.250 in. at the power steering relief valve.
