[AT] Fwd: Fwd: Pictures

I have to make a correction to the previous post, I misread not only my notes that I jotted done from the on line parts list, but I read the parts list wrong to boot.

The earlier version of the battery box should have been 538609R2, and the later version should have been 538609RGV. The 538609R2 is not available any more, the 538609RGV is available. 

Sorry for any confusion.

I took a look at an online parts list that a local Case dealer has on line for the Cub, it’s an electronic version of the original parts manual that they scanned and added a parts look up table to. They reference two battery box part numbers:

538609R2 -  Terminal Box W/Production Graphic

351336R12 - Value, Terminal Box

>From the scanned manual sheets the one I have looks like the 538609R2. They didn’t have an actual picture of the 538609R2 box, but had a picture of the 351336R12 box that appears to show the bottom ribs that you referenced.

They also reference tractor serial numbers, but I don’t have a serial tag on the Cub, so I can’t tell which the “as supplied” box should be. Since the box I have was bolted over the apparent original box, I’m guessing that the 351336R12 box was the original, and the 538609R2 was a later version. The part numbers would also tend to support that the box I have is a later version.

Either way, the mystery has been apparently solved and I appreciate everybody’s efforts in answering the question.

By the way, since you came up with the apparent correct answer, you win the prize. Just send me your address and I’ll send you the two pieces of the original battery box.😜

I'm not aware of any noteworthy changes to the battery box.  The 12-volt 
tractors used a different lid.  But even then the box remained the same. 
Maybe there is just so little remaining of your original and the one I 
photographed that it looks different.

That would make sense since the two pieces used the four bolts shown in your 
picture. It would also explain why the heads of the bolts were so far gone 
(battery acid eating them away). There wouldn’t be any other reason for the 
four bolts, and the thinness of the two pieces wouldn’t provide any real 
strength for any other use.

All the manuals I have show the existing style of battery box that I 
currently have. So this must have been a very early version of a battery 
box.

Thanks for the response, I figured somebody would come up with an answer.

I sent a reply to the list with an attached image.  Hopefully it will get
through after a while.  In the meanwhile, here is what the reply said
without the image:

What you have there is the remaining piece of a battery box.  There
certainly isn't much left of it.  Here (if it goes through) is  picture of
the bottom of another one that isn't quite as far gone.  Note that in this
one about 2/3 of the bottom is still there.  All that remains in your
picture is the lower portion of one bottom rib of the box.  The bolt size
and spacing in my picture agrees with your picture.  Your piece seems to
somewhat curve up on an edge that matches the rib in mine.

I think that whatever you currently have for a battery box was installed
over the top of the original.

Follow the link Dean posted to see what the original looked like.

Hard to do at the moment since they were attached to the four bolts under
the battery box, and I’ve already reinstalled the battery box. I’ll take a
look tomorrow and see if I can maybe get a shot from behind the Cub. Maybe I
can get a picture from a maintenance manual and just indicate were they
were.

A photo of where it goes on the tractor would help greatly
