[Farmall] obsolete parts

[Barney Van De Weert]

I hear you, I live in NE Ohio, do business w/ some of them- sounds like the loader you are working on was made by Hydra Mac, they bought their gearboxes from somebody, any tags on them? Barney Van De Weert

> Barney , thee almish around here are the old hard core that dont believe in tractors ,at least the older ones . The younger generations are pushing back against the old ways . I had a conversation with one who was converting a overhead crane to diesel/hydraulic and I commented that with the hydraulic pump/motor drive unit that there was no mechanical connection between them . He shot back with you know it and I do but dont tell the bishop . I have helped out a couple of them on projects and my name is known among the community as a friend . The only tractor they have is a old diesel used to run the trashing machine .
I tried one guy who handles a lot of nos parts for the hydra mac to see 
if the 6 c is in fact the same but no reply .Ivan
