I expect if I was a dealer and had an unsold '47 on the lot without hydraulics that was surrounded by a new batch of '48s, it would have been worth my while to order the kit to add the hydraulics to the '47 to get it sold.
Or if I was a truck farmer who had bought the '47 bare bones and IH came out with hydraulics the next year, it might have been a race to see whether the salesman could get out to my farm before I got into the dealership to see if we could work out a deal to add the hydraulics.
Key would be whether the '47 motors had provision for adding the hydraulic pump and the torque tube mas set up to bolt the hydraulic block on. Again, that's a point on which the guys on the Cub board would be better informed.
