	Yours is a earlier unit, floor throttle where mine is in dash as was the donor, both of mine have square air cleaner in the dash. Yours has the round engine compartment filter which is easier to find as I have been told. Temperamental old tractors but work hard when working.

	Yes, somebody welded lots of rebar on the grousers. They did a good job. It will last the life of the machine (at least as we no it). The history appears to be that the county of Los Angeles or (maybe the city) was the original owner and they probably put the ROPS on when that law came in to effect. (1970ish). It later went to a private party that had it for many years in Bishop, Ca. We got it from Doug, at Tri City Tractor in Colton, Ca. He and his father were in the AC parts business for many years and had wrecked out lots of ACs. He was friends of the previous owner and when they called him to get rid of it he called us to see if we were interested.

	I was just admiring that fine piece of engineering, appears has been re-engineered a time or two as mine has!! Hard mechanism to keep together and functional. Someone has put a lot of time on the rails, appears to have had grousers welded on. Edited by DMiller - 21 Apr 2017 at 8:44pm

	Let me go to scrounging on my donor. The throttle on it was cabbaged together and a mess but I believe I have the decal system and linkage. PM me a email and I will send photos when I find the stuff.

	Ok, So after following Dave's bucket rebuild we thought it was time to get our 7G in service, I know I was just picking on Brent for starting another project, but what the heck it's that Iron disease thing. We've had this 7G for several years but have never got it up to speed. It's been sitting here for almost 2 years because it wont start and I can't get to the starter with the bucket down. So because we can I cheated. I used the big forklift, but couldn't find the right blocks. But found that 18'' backhoe buckets work perfect! Got it up to it's almost comfortable to work on. I was sure it was the contacts in the solenoid (usually is) This is what I found. Right call, it started right up. So I know Dave was sure he had the only ULRICH bucket in existence, I'm here to tell you there were 2 made and we have the other one! It's definitely a collectors item, as in not be used just collected! We do have the service manual and a original brochure for it which is cool from our collection stand point. Our plan is to put some logging forks on to use on the ranch. The other thing it needs is the decelerator pedal and linkage. It came without any of that. The hand throttle is there, but the other stuff was removed. We've looked around a little but not to hard. There were several different versions according to the parts book. Was thinking we can build our own,but would prefer to find original parts. Ironically we have another 7G (same vintage) in very poor condition without those parts too. So if anyone knows where to look or has parts, let us know. Also this is not getting a full restoration any time soon! This one's for play and maybe pay? (as in a working job)
