I have an R2 #4J1098 1942 . It has factory elec start , lights and generator. The blade on it was made by Arrow Manufacturing in Denver Colorado. My wife gleaned some info about them on the internet. Apparently they made hydraulic units during the war for various companys, including Caterpillar. It is a sturdy looking little blade that needs the cylinders resealed. I was hoping someone here would know something more about it before I dove in. I think they are fairly simple sealing cylinders. I didnt take any pictures of it but if interest is shown I can. just doing a little fishing. Thanks

I understand the idea behind having the parts on hand before starting a job. I have a farm wheel tractor loader used mostly to lift what I need moved. The loader is the same brand as tractor. I did not want to be without it. So ordered seals from tractor company. Should be easy, WRONG only 2 or 3 options in their system. Without the right parts raced off to the dealer, with the old seals in hand. NOTHING IN THIER SYSTEM WAS CLOSE. Off to the hydraulic/bearing dealer, very common size they had lots, at way under tractor dealer price. So I would say time to gamble if you can find a some what competent hydraulic supply shop.
