"flatback" cover for late "A"?

You can buy aluminum covers that have a place to mount the battery box seat from Denglers. I put one on my 1950 model recently.

Thanks. Does it still have a hole for the pto?

Yes it does have the hole for the PTO

Thanks a bunch. I need to lighten up my tractor a bit for the local antique pulls. I thought about just pulling the powertrol off but getting rid of all the hydraulic system will really help. The nice thing is that I can leave everything intact for later if I ever want to put it back on. I've been putting it off and waiting for a real good reason to pull the rear cover and a couple weeks ago I had an axle seal go out so looks like I got my reason to do it now. I sure wish the seals were out on the end of the housings instead of behind the bull gears. :lol:
