    Powermaster decal

    Working on a 1957 960. I was told that mid-year the 960's came with the "Powermaster" decal on the hood. Would like to verify if this is true. If so can someone tell me the approximate serial number this started? Mine is serial number 124607 so I assume it is early to mid year mfg. I see...

    Resto-ride seat question

    I am restoring a resto-ride seat for my 960. I am to the point of ordering bushings. My question is: What keeps the front bushing on the seat arm/base from coming out during use? I see no way of retaining it once it is in place. Can anyone shed light on this or maybe I am missing something...

    Resto-ride seat question

    That makes sense about keeping the bolt from vibrating out. I will have to free it up and then find a stout enough spring. Thanks for the replies.

    Resto-ride seat question

    Started restoring the resto-ride seat for my new to me 960. and have a question. The flip over bracket that attaches to the seat pan has a threaded stop on the front of the bracket. I assume this is threaded so it can be adjusted for seat height? Correct? Mine is stuck and have not been able...

    Narrow or wide front end desirability?

    Guys, thanks for all your input. It gives me a few things to consider. My main use, at least initially would be light work around the place as I restore/refurb for use during events I participate in with the antique tractor/machinery club I belong to. I initially favored the wide front end...

    Narrow or wide front end desirability?

    Looking to purchase a 900 series tractor. Is a wide front end more desirable than a narrow front end? Or is there a major pro or con to either?
