    Literature---New Idea Manure Spreaders Brochures

    Have a 19-A that I bought as a basket case from a salvage yard auction for $40. Frame was good and all the steel components were there but had to put all new wood in it. A new web chain, new tires, new plates in the slip clutch and new universal joints. I’ve probably ran 40 loads through it...

    520 Oliver baler

    Have you tried calling Maibach. A ran that number through the depot search and came up zilch but that doesn’t mean it didn’t supersede to a newer White number. Randy and Joe are good at tracking that stuff down.

    Chevrolet c65 brake parts

    https://www.brakematerialsandparts.com/ You want to talk to that guy. He is a walking encyclopedia on vintage medium duty truck juice brakes. Just went through the bakes on dad’s C65 last fall. He had all the parts in stock. Had him rebuild the hydravac as well. He’s over by Ft Wayne Indiana...

    Literature---Late 40's? Caterpillar Brochure

    The D7 with the rear drag line is neat. Probably not many of those units built.

    unusual sighting but not a necessarily rare tractor

    I got my info right from the guys that worked at the Charles city plant on the floor and in management. One of the guys was in management in Charles city from the late 60’s until it closed then he followed the tractors to Coldwater Ohio. The assembly line for the corporate tractor line had...

    unusual sighting but not a necessarily rare tractor

    The rear end and top cover, power shift, tub, engine, front axle, cab and console are all original parts. Just original to different tractors and found in different places. Then there’s a second power shift on a stand set up as a cut away. And at a farm north of town there’s a guy that has...

    Oliver 1850 Steering Motor Hydraulic Lines

    Hydraulic hose won’t make that kind of bend. You would run into clearance issues because you would need more room in pretty much every direction to get multiple hoses stuffed up in there. Plus hose being larger OD it won’t go back in the clamps. Not saying it can’t be done. But it won’t be fun...

    unusual sighting but not a necessarily rare tractor

    That’s the general consensus among the guys that told me as well. But it’s fun to think about. The story went that it belonged to some farmer out there and he knew it was special. But he passed away and the family is very private and doesn’t want anyone nosing around. If nothing else it’s a good...

    On some of the shorter ones you do have to straighten the bend out slightly to get it in a flare machine. Then you can stick an appropriate sized punch back in the tube and put the full bend back in it.
