Sounds like a successful weekend Col. How about the other project, did you get a look at them?
Hi Col,
1B1659 grease pump group is listed in the 'SIXTY Tractor parts catalog' 101A to 1125A. 3 leg stand and rotary handle operating gear pump and round canister on top.

Had the camera set wrong so not a great result. Grease pot is stripped down for cleaning and twenty not home yet so this is all you get for now.
Twenty is ser L732 so should be grey I believe 1927 build. Needs a couple of bonnet catches and a lot of cleaning. I have the front idler covers but they are going to take a lot of panel beating with a big hammer. Rails are thin but should do all I want.
These two bought at a sale in South Australia last week. Three other tractors to come back for others so it will be a full load on 44ft trailer.![]()
Good catch Col, They are a nice Unit , and pretty good to work on . You mention Curtain Hinges , original You can't Buy from Cat only the later Type , But I think I am right that Scott Flint [ C.A. ] made or is getting that Type Made , They are Cast base , but made up the wrong Way and Water can get into the Spring and Rust out , Cat later changed the Design so that Didn't happen , But I for one have some of the early type on a Unit. I may still have a new Front idler guard here that George Rankin Made Hope to meet You at Hamilton next Month . LJ
A few in the US ,, but cleaning for to ship home has stopped me so far !!!! ... regards pete
Hi Pete
Good to hear from you.This one was very easy to strip down to individual components to clean. Planning to put it back together with a gasket with no cut out to keep the inside of the pump clean. Will not pump but only two bolts to take the pot off if need to recommission.
I have operators instructions for a sixty and a grease pot so you are way ahead.
Hope to visit you again but could be a while before I get your way again.
cheers Colin(WF)

Howdy Colin.
Thats a very neat tractor and great buying. Good to see it going to a good home. S/N of our twenty is L735 so very close to yours. Guess they would have been shipped out together.
Cheers
