Feel free to look at the following link for my pictures. https://picasaweb.google.com/mnoonan42/MNoonanSCA?authkey=Gv1sRgCJS7lonQieas6gE - https://picasaweb.google.com/mnoonan42/MNoonanSCA?authkey=Gv1sRgCJS7lonQieas6gE I had hoped to get it done for Hutch to show off my step but better late than never. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Thanks guys for all the great comments and Greg, I do have a restored 2x14 plow and will be using it on the CA at our club plow days soon. I'm very excited about that. Bob, I used Google's Picasa this time and it seemed to work fairly easy. You and I did give it our best shot though at Hutch but sometimes when an expert wonders by, you have to let em use their magic. Thanks again guys, Mike Noonan ------------- AC CA, Ferguson TO-20, Ford NAA, M-M BG, AC #3 Mower, SC Plow, PH Digger, AC 720's with Ark 700 loader & Brantly Backhoe, "Mini B" w/flathead Ford V8 |

Again, GREAT JOB!!!
Good Luck!

Jim, There is one of the pictures showing the remote electrical connector that is mounted to the PTO shield. The picture is 8 of 18 and the file name is P9110138.JPG. Well anyway, the tube from the traction booster connects to the bottom of the remote hydraulic unit. You can see the tube coming into a right angle brass fitting. The fitting comes out of the bottom of the remote hydraulic unit. There is also a hydraulic hose and another tube coming out of the remote unit. If this doesn't make sense, send me another note.

2 thumbs up. I like a restored tractor that has a starter to have a complete battery box. So many don't. Also you took the time to use the original style hose clamps. Steering and tie rods got new boots and I even noticed the muffler has the bottom bolt installed.....nice!
Did you leave the cultivator braket on for transport tie down spot?

wkpoor, Thanks, they are 2 brass bolts holding the muffler. On the cultivator, I just like having it on to display the tapered pins plus I do have the complete cultivator that I plan to restore after the post hole digger that I am working on now. And again thanks to all for the kind words.

Seeing this pretty thing makes me want to run up the road and lighten my wallet. I'm pretty shur the WF Snap Coupler CA with the Sherman Aux Gear Box and the 28 Ben Franklin pricetag is still sitting where I saw it last. Will the Sherman Direct/High fit anything else. What are these Sherman transmissions worth by themselves?
I have a Gallon and a Quart of PPG 60080 just sitting on the shelf waiting to make the World a more beautiful place to live in.
I really like the looks of ACs when done right. PO#2 and Corp Orange CAs no matter how well done turn me off.

Bob, Those brackets I had made to attach a post hole digger I am restoring now. Hope to have it done very soon. Will post pictures when it's done. When I bought the post hole digger I was told it came off a CA. The lower mount brackets were missing. It lifts with the snap coupler lift latches.

Ken, there aren't many of those around. I would say that CA for $2800 with one is worth it if the tractor is in decent shape. Thanks again to all for the kind words. I will post some more pictures of the post hole digger I'm finishing up for the CA soon.
