I tried to match one up for the jeep project and came up dry. Ended up with a set of the ones shown from agrisupply. I think there are runs made at times then changed and discontinued. Discontinued seat.
-
Good price AND the correct mounting holes for our WH’s! I have one of these seats as well on my GT-1600. A little thin on the padding but it sure wears well and stays flexible in the cold.
-
agri supply has very similar seats, with that rubber style cover https://www.agrisupply.com/search.aspx?ss=seat

@Handy Don I had a train set as a kid, but real trains are much more fun to run.

After seeing what you can do, piece of cake. -
They still run that steam once a week.

The black jaw face on the blue vise. Something you made or come with it?

I rebuilt a similar steering box on a 1965 case. On the Case forums I was told I didn’t have to have the plastic spacer that hold the balls. Just go to ace and get any missing balls. Arrange them on the race with heavy grease to hold them. It’s a little harder to reassemble without the plastic piece, but it’s doable. My Case is just a show tractor but it has worked for several years without the plastic spacer.

what words in the English language mean are subject to many different meanings and interpretations - and from my experience that certainly applies to the condition of various tractors and their attachments -- i have seen posts of tractors and for sale items with descriptions that have no relationship to the english words as i interpret them from Websters Dictionary -- people could assume the words "near new" in fact mean a few uses out of the crate -- but me -- i am a see feel and touch guy -- want to see it and touch it -- i have seen "near new" used to describe decks that have no treads left on the rear axle deck wheels and terms like "some lite rust" to describe decks that look like they were left outside in the weather for a few years -- i respect your characterization but asking others to suggest a price without seeing photos is like going to Vegas. Good luck -- suggest you post some top and bottom photos - Good luck !!

When I was in college, the family went to visit my sister and her husband in Vermont. One of the stops we made during the trip was to ride the cog railway up to the top of Mt. Washington. Was still steam powered at that time. Quite a ride.

48's have the adjuster on the left. 42's on the right. Good decks are high in my area. Even some junkers are too. Good luck.

I’ve gotten 2 of them from the scrap tractors at a local mower shop

Not too much interesting to report, but the tractor is torn all the way down and cycling parts through the dip tank and getting primer on them, starting to have more parts cleaned and primed than dirty so that's good, made a good order from Wheelhorseparts, a bunch of odds and ends that I'll need to put things together so I'm excited to get that in the mail. The engine ran really well so I don't plan on tearing that down although I have taken the shields off to get ready for paint and clean the whole thing up. I plan on just cleaning everything well and painting the block and the shields and putting back together.

Well, I have a plan for the upper steering shaft on the 523-H, but it will be the weekend before I try it. I want to add a couple inches to the length to raise the steering wheel, so I'll definitely need some additional support. Hopefully it'll work out.

C-Series Hybrid Idea

I've had a couple of each, and as Don @Lee1977 and I were talking about them this past Sunday- they vary so much one to another, regardless of type. You would think the precision built into them would make them more like any other of the same type, but that is not the case. My Bronco has the absolute fastest hydro I've ever had. My 1990 520H has the quickest response of all of mine. It will spin the tires easily. I'm starting to think the linkage adjustment has alot to do with it, but I'll know about that soon enough. -
Trains and trolleys were my transportation while working in Europe. My fave was the cogged train to the base of the Matterhorn at Zermot.

Actually the later 520's moved the steering shaft bushing to up under the dash. The dash can be drilled to accept a wheel bearing as well. A couple of mine have been done this way.
-
Ahhh Can't see the vid my internet too slow and sucks. Especially with vids.
-
@WHX?? I don't think it was broken al the way, in the video you can see a chunk out of the cam,but it didn't break till I took the cam pin out. This was in the pan. It ran when it was parked. Lasted 8 years

It depends on exactly what happens and when. On paper each cylinder should be able to lift 4500 lbs, and so should be capable of lifting anything I will ever put on this lift (that Explorer is literally the heaviest thing I own that isn't a building, at about 4300 lbs curb weight), so one cylinder should also be able to hold it up by itself. However a leak in any part of the hydraulic system compromises the whole system since there is only one power head. If it is a slow leak that started while I was working on something but didn't have it on the locks it should do as you said, safely and slowly leak down until it rests on the lock, or the ground if you are below the first lock ( vehicle approx 2 ft off the ground). The leak I had, if it had started while something was already in the air it may have not been so slow, but the locks should still have stopped it. On the other hand I saw a video recently where a guy was in the process of lowering a Mustang when a cylinder failed, so he had the locks released. The car was on the ground before he could react. Let's just say, there is a reason I chose to reseal both cylinders at the same time. Also, when I took the "good" one apart, I inspected the pressure seal carefully before disturbing it at all. These are a mildly pliable plastic material, not a teflon or rubber seal. The pressure seal on the "good" cylinder was intact, no breaks, no chewing wear like on the failed one. As soon as I tried to stick a pick under it to work it out of its groove it shattered.

Yep been there done that ... guy at plow day said he checked his oil ... bull roar. Nothin but sludge in the pan. Got extremely lucky and only busted the cam. Never even bent the cam axle. Can't believe it ran with only a tic Rider.
-
gotta love a Black hood! -
Did you take the keys? Be prepared for some folks to slip in and run it!

Thought maybe it was a bluish Permatex sealer I tried once that did't work. We was just talkin about glassing pumps. Good trick ... gonna those pics for my fuel pump instructional. I always misted them with a rattle can like a head but the mist can go where you don't want it to.
