 Finally got around to replacing all the bushings in the suspension of my WD. Replaced both ends of the shock bushings and the pivot point at the right hand brake cover. Nice and steady now, no more rocking side to side lol. Even the little things make a big difference. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

| back when they were new crop cultivation was common an offset seat let the operator have a better view of the front mounted cultivators, that's why the B and C had wide seats you could slide over to have a better look at what your digging. |

Would the roto baler pickup being on the left side been a factor? Been more convenient to look to the left |

Roto Baler and also the All Crop combines being on the left is a factor from what I've read. I like raking with a WD too. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

I did some corn chopping with Allis chopper to fill silos using the WD45's, and the offset seat position and controls actually work very well for the operator. Spent many hours on them with other farm work too. They feel a little less ergonomically friendly to get on and off as we approach 70!

I agree 100%, but still not as hard to get on and off as the B, C and CA.

Hi. What is the foot pedal used for? Is it a foot throttle and if so, how is the mechanism hooked up to it? LOL, curious minds. Ross D.
