VAC Project: Need grille screen info

I think I might have found a grille at long last. Hopefully it will be what I've been looking for.

Now, down here in Florida, there's always a lot of trash and dry grass flying around, so I was thinking of finding an NOS, or new reproduction, or good used inner grille screen. It looks like in the parts book that there is a lower one as well.

Does anyone have any leads on those screens, or maybe some dimensions and or pictures they could share so I could maybe fabricate something.

Also still looking for the front half of the high-pressure line from the engine pump to the midpoint of the tractor for the Eagle Hitch.

Thanks as always!

I need to get an address or a sample issue of that publication.

On the plow, I'd just like to find one that is usable and fits the Eagle hitch correctly. I've been using the tractor on my 6 1/2' disk and it's been so handy, I'd like to try it on a proper plow. Since I do get into the Modwest from time to time, distance may not be a hinderance for the proper piece. As long as I could pay for it and let it set for a while before I can get up to get it, it could work.

Good to see you posting.

I just saw a Case 4 bottom plow on ebay. A bit much for a Vac but a guy like you who knows, you might be getting ready to install a bolt-on rocket booster.

The pump discharge tube (no fittings) is part number VT4918. The cross-ref nr is A30595. I don't know if the A nr is still an active Case p/n and can't find the item in my bookmarked sites. You might try some Case dealers, doubtfull but may get lucky.

I think you may be headed for the salvage yards for this tube. Can you not find a sample and have one made up?

click on the link, scroll down to "hyd lines for engine mounted pump" pix. The pipe you need is the one with an end right at the lower left corner of the pix.

I've bought from the seller, he is ok, can't vouch for the condition of the piping tho.

Good to hear from you again. Wondered how it was comming for you. Did you ever find a case plow for it. Hope you can find one. There was a doubles disk case plow here that only lasted one day on the side of the road. Must have been some eager case guys here somewhere. Think they were asking 250 for it.looked to be in pretty good shape.
