Does anyone know if the 36 ford steering box has a drain plug. Thanks...

I don't believe any Ford boxes had a drain. Paul in CT

A drain plug? The lower "seal" usually did the trick. Seriously, no drain plug... Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Thanks guys. Follow up question, how do I clean out the goop that is in it.

You can use an oil suction gun to suck the contents out through the oil fill hole. After you have the steering box as clean as you can get it, fill the box with Corn Head Grease. This is available from John Deere Tractor Dealers in 14 oz. tubes under part number AN102562. This is the product to use if your steering box oil seal leaks.

“You can use an oil suction gun” For us amateurs, what is an oil suction gun?

An oil suction gun is the same device as that used to add transmission and rear axle lube to those units. It is basically just a hand operated oil pump used to transport liquids from one container to another.

Directions for draining/changing lubricant from steering gear. Remove fill plug, invert vehicle, nature will drain the gear box for you. A drain pan is advisable to catch the fluid to minimize contamination of the ground. Bill 36 5 win delx cpe
