Posted: 28 Aug 2011 at 10:15pm |
Dad pulled out on of these NOS this morning from a corner of the shed. I haven't seen one before.

I have the similar radiator cover that came with my CA. My CA does not have the hole in the grill fro the shutters, but does have the 4 holes for the cover!

DeWayne,
The canvas for the WC unstyled is held by tension of the wires, you can see them at the bottom of the picture. The top ones are mostly out of the picture.
Dad pointed out the holes in our C where a canvas like yours would go. I had not seen either of these type of canvas talked about or pictures on this site before.

Huh! I've seen the WC ones before, but never the C type, neat! So is there like a "Z" on the ends of it that go into the holes to keep it in place? Would one slide the cloth to the side when it got warmed up then, since up and down there are no more holes? Anyone have more pics and dimensions of this set up? That might be a neat project to reproduce when I have a free minute (like I have any of them, LOL!) I'm amazed how much I learn on this site! Thanks all!
Another thought: I notice all the pics of these curtains are always out of this same type of gray/green canvas. Just a coincidence that the old seat covers were out of this material too, at least in some cases? Further proof that more seats should be this instead of black leather? Thinking out loud here....

I’m reading this 14 years to late I guess…! Was wondering how it looked for the WC / WF but can’t see the pictures. Does anyone have pictures from the canvas cover… or better, for sale? Thanks!

I second that request... I just came across a great source for heavy canvas to feed my industrial sewing machine!!!
In response to Jacob's decade-old note, they probably made it all in the same place, using the same material. Waxed Canvas was a really common supply-line product, it was durable, handy, used for all sorts of things... heat-housers, awnings, flexible ductwork, safety guards, drive belts, tin pants, tool bags, firewood totes, welding aprons, water buckets...

x 3 on the Canvas request - I would buy a couple if someone decides there is enough interest for production. ~ Orangeman

I have two of these NOS radiator covers for the B,C & CA tractors. I don't know If I want to sell them, I guess it depends on what someone would offer for one.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
