It didn't have power steering when I got it but did have the hole with a plug in it. Was my uncle's tractor. don't think the nose was ever changed. [Reply]  [No Email]

It also has a radiator pressure cap. I have owned it for 30 years so it is original. Joe [Reply]  [No Email]

Maybe its not. It was at serial number 37000 that power steering became an option. After that all the nose cones had the hole punched for the steering reservoir dipstick. [Reply]  [No Email]
