Thanks for the feedback everyone; I really appreciate it!

The seller mentioned the exhaust when I asked about the noise; very well could be a leak or something relatively simple to fix. My worry is it's something that would involve an entire rebuild, and while that could still be the case, I'm liking the odds it's something relatively simple...

Hi everyone, I need help trying to figure out what steering gear this is. It's in a 1930 wagon and from what I can tell it looks like a steering box from a 55' F100, but the thing at the arrow is pointing to is throwing me for a loop. Any help is greatly appreciated!
