Harry, It HAS the hydro lift and I'm thinking it was added later as the arm that holds the cylinder as well as the piping are not painted.Hey David - how come you didn't add the Hydro Lift that it was supposed to get as a field upgrade after the original sale???
The spool and mount bracket are though.
The manual lift handle ratchet was bolted to the frame as well and it never looked to have been used. I removed it and there was no indication of paint on the frame where it had been nor on the upper surface of the part where it had been bolted to the frame.
Just getting ready to install the new fan, front and rear couplers on the driveshaft.
The hour meter was not hooked up to anything as the little harness and connector were missing, but I tested it and it works fine and the lens is nice and clear as well.
New seat is on the way from Charlie too to replace the ass pincher that was on it!!
I'm thinking maybe full bore restoration this winter along with adding the IH 3 point and sleeve hitch.
