[Farmall] IH Plow cylinder repair

[Jim Becker]

I'm assuming the problem is the cup for the piston.  It is part 15750E (your 
part number is for a 2 1/4" cylinder) and still shows as a good part on 
Messick's at $26.  I believe we just used leather water pump cups from a 
hardware store.  I don't know if you can find them in a hardware store any 
more.
