Will the rear end cover/3 point lift assembly from a 3500 fit on a 4500? Both are 1967 w/ 3 cylinder diesel. The 3500 is a SOS trans, 4500 is a 4x4 manual reversing type.
I'm thinking of selling the 3500 to reduce the collection a bit and since the 4500 will do a bit more, but the one thing the 3500 has the bigger one doesn't is a 3 point. The Messick's online parts catalog seems to suggest the cover is the same for 2000/3000/4000, but the detailed info isn't loading where I could actually compare part numbers.
Not sure what I'd do for hydraulics. Will the 3500 engine mount pump and lines swap? Concerns I would have are if it has the drive gear on the back of the cam and how to get everything hooked up - IIRC the lines connect to the lower case, not the top cover. Might be able to tap into the main hydraulic system instead but would have to run a flow diverter I think and I'm not sure what you'd have to do to get return oil back into the main sump.
Thanks,
