chazm 413 #2 Posted December 26, 2013 It's the rear mount for snow/plow blade chasm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted December 26, 2013 ^^^^^ What he said. But its an early one, the two "ears" that stick up are the mount for a hydraulic cylinder if that option was desired. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,872 #5 Posted December 26, 2013 Mikes right...that is where the piston mounts for the HY-2 lift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #6 Posted December 26, 2013 Not the best pic but here it is with the lift cyl in place, this is on my round hood I built a few years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
51Chevy 66 #7 Posted December 27, 2013 Like I mentioned on face book its odd because the tractor isn't a hydro and it has the mount Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,134 #8 Posted December 27, 2013 Start collecting the parts now... so it can be a hydro tractor someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,992 #9 Posted December 27, 2013 The old hydros had a separate pump added to the tractor in front of the seat and gear shift lever -usually on the tower frame of the tractor. That pump ran on a belt off the right side of the tractor between a pulley on the shaft of the pump and the shaft of the motor up front. The second part of the hydro unit was the cylinder (that Kelly's photo shows) and the frame that you have on your tractor. Your 854 could have had a hydro pump or you just have a rear snowplow hitch that had the hydro cylinder setup on it from 1963 /1964 which were sold by Wheel Horse.
