I gotta brag and I got a question.

First the bragging. I drove out to the farm where I had been using my super c with a neighbor to drive it home. He had never seen such an old tractor still running and not in a museum he said. I get that a lot around here. Anyway to impress him even more the battery was dead from sitting for a month. It was 20 deg outside. I pulled the choke, 1/4 throttle, turned the key, and cranked the hand crank 1 time and it roared to life. I was even impressed with that! He had never seen anyone hand crank anything before. He followed me the 10 miles home and we got to an amazing 15 mph down the farm road. I had never done any 4th gear running in it before. Sure was fun!

I have been using my super c that my son and I restored a few years ago at my freinds farm in trade for mule riding lessons. Anyway, I moved my mule to another place and the super c is going too but I got it at home for some much needed maintenance and was wondering your thoughts.
I am in pretty bad need of a new seal kit for the hyd cylinder for the fast hitch in back. It is just leaking all over the place. I gave up asking for any parts for it here at the local IH dealer since they can't even sell me an oil filter. I have been calling the dealer I used to work at in Pa but the parts guys I used to know there are all gone now and I don't get the same discounts anymore. Anyone know of a good source for this seal kit. I also need a outer seal for 1 axle and 1 for the belt pulley shaft. This thick dust here in Lubbock really took it's toll on the original seals left in it.
One last thing I can't seem to find anywhere is a new set of ball ends for the ends of the fast hitch yoke in back. The ball jointsat the top of the swivel from the lift yoke to the actual hitch arms. I am sorry I don't know their exact name. Anyway the balls are about worn out from the grease fittings missing for most of it's life. I replaced the fittings but they are still very loose and need replaced. I talked to a junk man who had a good idea of welding a modern 3 point ball end on in it's place but I would rather stay original. Except for the key switch I put on to keep kids from getting hurt and the k&N filter on top of the stack it is all original and show ready. Can anyone help with finding any of these parts. Thanks in advance if you can.
