Hey guys, When I first got my tractor, I was checking things out, and wanted to fix the switch on the backup light. Well, I thought it was just a sealed beam headlight like the fronts, so I go and take the rings off and out falls the lens and breaks. Then I see its not the way I thought it was. Its been without a lens for a long time and I get tired of hearing it rattle. Im also going to do a 12v conversion, so I wanna hook this light back up and get it working good, so I need a replcement lens. Does anyone have one they want to get rid of of know where i could get one relatively cheap? I'd like to keep the original red light in there as well. If I cant find a lens, I'll probably just take the old reflector out and put in a standard sealed beam headlight if one will fit, and put the reflector in with all the other original stuff I took off. i decided to do this for in the event of a sale, The new owner would have as much of the original stuff as possible in case he was looking for a restorer.
Also, both of my front spindles are bent, normally this is a slight bit of camber on both spindles, now one side has alot of camber and the other has no camber. I'm assuming it coincides with the fel arms being bent a hair on the left side, like somebody crashed into something in road gear. Yes I have inspected much of the casting to ensure nothing is cracked and it all looks good, and I have the fel arms compensated for. Just wondered if these things are expensive? I dont need to replace them, but Just wondered. Wish I'd have seen it bnefore I bought it, could gotten it cheaper, but hindsight is 20/20. Considering I did no real test drive and it was more of an impulse buy, I faired pretty well. Didnt know alot about tractors back then. I nknew enough from my auto expereience to check the engine out good tho.
300u BTW

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
