Steering box on my CA

[beesbo]

I bought a CA to get running again. It has been modified by previous owners. One item that has me confused is the steering box. I don't believe it is a CA box but I don't have enough experience with these to identify it. It has some residual orange paint on it so I figured it is probably an Allis of some kind.
I will attach pictures. The steering box was not bolted to the torque tube under the cover. Some kind of "adapter" was made and it was bolted through two of the 4 mounting holes.
The Steering Arm was down not up like a CA should be and was short, about 11.5 in. long. Has a number cast in it that looks like 3683299????7. You can maybe tell from the photo that is has been hammered on in its past. It steered correctly.
It is a wide front tractor.
Any information you can give me would be helpful.

It's been a while since I have owned a CA, but I do not believe that is the correct steering box. The CA should have a Ross steering box, and did not use the adaptor in your picture. I think the S on your
current box indicates it was made by saginaw and I think you are right, it looks like someone may have heated the pitman arm and reshaped it to fit.

Thanks for the response. Do you have any idea what tractor this may have come from? The four mounting holes may be a clue.

It doesn't look familiar to me at all. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

There is a CA steering box and Column for $100 in the YT classified. I've delt with him and he is fair.
