I am going to restore my 400 in the near future and I am going to need some parts. Where is a good place to buy a battery box? Is there a reproduction available or do I have to go to the salvage yard? I also need the steel hydralic lines that run along side of the box. Are there available in repros or are the deminsions available to have a shop bend them for me? Thanks in advance

I assume you have the newer box that has the IH stamped into it. There is a guy on e-bay that I got the older style for a SM and it's built real well and was only 80.00. He goes by oemtp on ebay.

If you get an old car magazine and look through there is an outfit that will make reproduction brake lines for anything, and can probably do your lines also. If they have ever done them before they'll have the blueprints stored and won't even need yours for a pattern.

Any good metal shop can make you a new battery box
if you still have the old box. If the old hydraulic steel lines are attached to the tractor
you can probably have new ones made by removing the old lines and taking them to a place that specializes in hydraulic hose. You could also
have hydraulic hoses made to replace the steel
lines. Hoses would withstand any vibration a lot better too and are easier to work with. Steel
brake lines of the right size could be bent by someone with a tube bender. The inverted tube fittings could be cut off and double flared using
flared tube nuts to fit your existing tube fittings. Hal
