I've asked for the same thing years ago, seems you are on your own to fabricate a chunk of rubber to those same dimentions and drill a hole thru the center. The only thing I've noticed is that the rebound cushion is pretty soft. John Saeli said not available.

Keep us posted if someone deicides to replicate those. They are almost as soft as very hard foam rubber.

Beagle: CASE hasn't offered those in a long time, but for a long time re-pops have been available & we keep them in stock.

If you are of the weight of 160lbs ,they are suitable ,in my opinion. Adding an appropriate spring plus the replacement rubber torsion piece may help. I am open for discussion on this point , my E-mail is open. CM

Yes, a double springs underneath and a rebound cushion above the channel iron. I just ordered one from John! It was several years ago I checked with him on this item. So glad someone is keeping these old tractors working.

Someone used a shock and spring from a wd45 Allis and says it works good. They posted about it here some time back. Seem to fit easy and worked good. But it wouldn't be for those trying to stay stock. I bought a set of the new ones for my 400 and after I put them on the tractor sat for a couple years. When I got it running the springs failed right away. Haven't tried another set yet to see if that was a fluke.
