Something similar to the one in Matt's kit for example. I personally think it's a great way to enhance safety. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick3478 428 #5 Posted March 11 Following with interest. I have a 312 and 314 that might need this. As for return-to-neutral, I'm undecided. I can see where it might be a good thing, but on the other hand back pressure from the hydro will tend to do the same if the friction washer isn't too tight. I was thinking some damping might be in order to minimize sudden changes, like maybe a leaked-out clutch air spring strategically located. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,434 #7 Posted March 11 I remember those magazines. Car & Driver, Popular Mechanics, etc. It was an exciting time. Looking forward to following the K & B info as well. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,814 #13 Posted March 12 No it's a genuine kit made for just the C-195. The guy I bought my Super from had one on one so I scarfed pics to plagiarize. Woulda been easy to fab. Sold the tractor tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
