Is there a book available that lists the parts for the blade lift cylinders? I am looking for the part numbers for the swivel part (trunnion?) bearing halves on the rod end of the cylinder and the bushings on the cylinder pivot that allow the cylinder to swing from side-to-side. The hydraulic system on this tractor is a model 173 mounted in front of the radiator. The parts book for the 173 system doesn't list these parts. The tractor is a direct drive low horse serial 47A1294.
Any idea what year this tractor was made?
do you know what model blade it is there may be a book for the blade itself. yes that bit is called a trunnion in engineering circles.
"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"
instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
After some more research I think that the trunnion bearings are part number 3J5689 or 2h6473.
I haven't found anything on the other parts.
I don't see any numbers on my blade.
Thanks for the reply!
For that early a s/n the swivel bearings are part # 3J2443 and the rod end trunnion is #3J5751.
Can be found in Parts Book Form #UE035033
47A1294 is a 1963 build.
