WAYNE S. - Not too many people special ordered CC's. About like cars & trucks now days people bought what was on the lot or in the showroom when they decided it was time to get a mower they needed. The dealers ordered CC's for stock and wheeled & dealed on them. I'm sure dealers would add & delete options & accessories to the paying customer's liking. Some attachments like rear blades, dual wheels, etc would have to be ordered thru channels from finished goods and would be delivered later.
Back in about 1980 when I first started looking for MY CC after Wife & I bought our first house, there was a household auction with two CC's listed, a 147 & mower and another, think it was a GD like a 122 or 124, maybe 102/104. I know the one I can't remember the model of was the one I was looking at, not the 147. There was a box of "spare parts" between the two CC's and I saw at least TWO elec. lifts in that box, telling me the lift had been replaced at least twice in the 9 to eleven years the tractor had been around. I'm sure the newer elec. 12V actuators are better now than they were forty years ago but an elec. lift is something I'd try to AVOID for a working tractor.
ANYHOW, As when I go to most auctions, I bought a cup of coffee, wandered around a bit, and went home after the two CC's sold for WAY more than I was going to spend. I was surprised they sold so high.... the sale was located within about ten miles of six or eight different plants & offices otherwise known as "Dear Country". (misspelled on purpose)

Ring compressors...
I don't own a ring compressor, but when I rebuild that K321 this past summer, I found a large hose clamp I had from a dryer-vent project earlier that spring. I just used the hose-clamp to tighten down the rings, then tapped the pison in with the handle of a rubber mallet.
Seemed to work fine for me...

Sorry to hear about your back. Just take your time and heal-up well. The Cubs can wait.

ART - actuually, the ring compressor Don posted the pic of is just a REALLY TALL hose clamp.
With either the hose clamp or that style ring comp. the trick is to get it tight enough to push the rings down into the groove but not too tight as to prevent the piston from slipping down when tapped. A little oil or grease helps a lot!

Thanks Kraig-
I think I've seen that photo before, probably here but don't remember. That's a nice little set-up with the back blade. How nice would it be to be February-1971 again (not politically, just domestically).
Dennis-
Thanks for the input. Charlie and I recently discussed the durability of the electric lift and so by popular opinion I wouldn't consider it heavy duty. I guess knowing the limits and operating properly will add to the longevity as with anything. That's also another reason I am considering the switch and sell I mentioned earlier. I can actually come out with the extra lift, front blade (with frame), a set of chains, headlights (I have one more nf that needs them), and some cash in the end. Time will tell.

Guys its been a while since I've posted on here, but I don't know where else to turn. I am looking for a lockout pin for a 1450. The part number that I have come up with is IH-545633-R1. This is the pin that you need to use a plow on a hydro. Can someone tell me where I might find one? My local CC store says that the part is no longer available and I now have everything else needed to use my plow. Any help would be great thanks.
Kraig, et all:
I'm making a new hitch bracket or yoke for my single bottom plow. (the part on the plow that the pin goes through that connects to the adapter).
Do you know or do you have a picture what the angle is to the plow? When the plow is hitched up, it's always at an angle. Also, I can't remember which way it angles.

HI RAY!
I can tell you the TOP of the verticle piece leans toward the LEFT when looking at the back of the tractor. When the right rear tire drops into the furrow that angle is supposed to make the plow share cut the furrow very close to horizontal.
Far as how much it angles.... Ohhhh About
that much. My plow is buried in the shop. I can see it, just need at least a six foot pole to touch it!

Ray, I don't have a good photo that shows the angle of the plow yoke. CC Specialties has replacements for sale.
