Saginaw Rebuild Kits Not Matching Up

[May70]

I have a saginaw 7802644 (NO L ON CASING), outboard mounted, 4 bolt hole, 32 spline pitman arm, 7/8" input shaft I need a rebuild kit for. Unknown model/year donor.

Edelmann told me 8523-8525. That was not correct for this box. It came with much smaller seals and bearing.

The seals and bearing off my input shaft:
IPC 5686526
IPC 5688229
Torrington DB47802

I think the bearing crosses to a INA SCE146 but have not confirmed. Timken stopped selling needle bearings and referenced KOYO. I got a number for eastern USA rep but have not called yet.

Leepowersteering has a nice write up on identifying your gear box. I called them and they could not help but they did say it is a very common problem because there were numerous versions within models that had different shaft diameters etc.

Parts craft was super helpful but the closest kit they have is THEIR kit number 7050 (which they cannot tell me what Edelman kit that matches to). They took the time to confirm that kit has matching input shaft seals, however strangely according to their records many of their kits do with drastically different bearing sizes. 7050 comes with a bearing ID of 0.882".

Can anyone help me out here? Ive read every thread I could find here.
