radiator support rods

I think I do but they are under a few inches of powdery snow. The snow will probably disappear by Tuesday.

I just noticed in the 600-650 parts book that diesel rods have a left and right. The gas rods are the same left and right but are different from the diesel. In other words, there are three different rods.

At any rate, they are easy to make with a small lathe if you have the damaged rods to use as a pattern. Thread size is 7/16-20. I think the round bar is 1/2".
 
I don"t know where to get them either. I don"t think anyone is making parts like that for those tractors anymore--too bad.

On the tractors I bought over the years, some of the support rods were removed and discarded by previous owners. I noticed in the parts manuals that some tractors came with one and some came with two. My WD-9"s & Super WD-9 look like they would have only had one. Maybe 600"s & 650"s were the same.

My tractors are workers, so when I assemble one I like to install both support rods. I can"t usually find the originals either, so I buy a 3 foot piece of plated 7/16 NC threaded rod. I bend both ends to the correct angle and install it on the tractor. If done carefully, it looks good and works well--the 3 foot rod is the perfect length. Of course it does not look original but once the hood is on, you can"t see it. I do prefer my tractors to be completely original, but sometimes this is the best I can do.

Let me know if you want some pictures.
