49 SC handcrank bracket

Thanks

Here's the only picture that I've got. I could've SWORN that I saved it from your ATIS site, though.

Yes- the hand crank clip is still in place on my '49 SC, although it's very rusty. I never knew that the clip was there until I saw that Owner's manual illustration in LeTourneau's book and saw the crank in the "stowed" position. I felt pretty silly- but at least I'd kept the crank safe for the 15 years it was away from the tractor!

The second "bracket" you speak of is just a hoop welded on the side of the seat channel. The DC has the same bracket, I believe.

I didn't have any pictures of my seat with the crank stowed- but I found a few pics in my files that might show you what you need to see:

Hope this helps, -Schotte

It's a simple shed roofed building sided with rough sawn boards and has a collection of old iron tractor seats, scythes, saw blades, licence plates etc. nailed to the siding and among the items is a hand crank, turns out the crank for the DC we had from about '83 till he sold it in '89. And it fits just fine in the crank holder on my SC! He scratched his beard and said he knew there was a reason he held on to old stuff!

NOW if he'd only kept the '38 John Deere B, the three early to mid 40's Minnie-Mo RTU's, the B Allis, the 44 Massey Harris and the '53 DC-4 we had over the years instead of "modernizing" with a '63 B414 International utility, which now shares it's space with my SC.
