I got 2 sets of lift latches when I bought my CA. The original ones are on the tractor. These are the other set. What tractor(s) are they for and what are they worth?  ------------- 1956 WD45 Narrow Front Factory Power Steering, 1953 WD Wide Front Allis Express in Muncie, IN |

Those are for the early WD45's. They were not as durable, and thus the reason for the change, but those look to be a nice set, can't tell how worn they are where the pin is cradled, but because they wore poorly, a nice set is now hard to find. Looks like one spring and you are ready to use. I would think $75-$100 for the pair, perhaps a bit more. ------------- The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025.

| They look to be in very nice condition and would have been original to a WD-45 with the Snap-Coupler option built before March 1954. |

Thanks, I will check the wear where the pin goes and look to see if there is much other wear. Not sure if I will sell, but is anybody interested? ------------- 1956 WD45 Narrow Front Factory Power Steering, 1953 WD Wide Front Allis Express in Muncie, IN |
