Farmall1 1 #1 Posted March 26, 2014 New to this site. I just picked up an Air Horse. I looked around but not much info out there. It runs good and all hydraulics work but for future reference is there a good place to find parts for these. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farmall1 1 #9 Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome. I have not got a manual yet, can anyone recommend what hyd fluid to use. I also have a question about the value, a friend of mine who woks on planes told me it may be valuable, if so how much? Just curious. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Looks like the ID plate is visable in the 1st photo just below the side of the dash housing. If it is post all the numbers on the plate and will dig up some manuals.
