 Topic: Question About a G
Posted: 28 Jun 2015 at 9:45pm |
I recently purchased this 1948 G and I have no experience with Gs. What is the canister-like device on the front?

Never seen that before. Could be a farmer add on that is related to the non-factory hydraulic system you have on your tractor.

Looks like a track roller someone used for weight.

Nice looking G. Unusual since it has the two way hydraulic system.
The roller on the front is probably a weight that the owner put on. Well mounted and does not look bad.
Looks like a good unit.
What was it used for? That may answer your questions.
Good Luck!
