JCR-Michigan 01-28-2013 14:51:42 71.10.22.227 Report to Moderator	I have a Farmall H with no belly hydraulic pump. I am restoring this tractor, and need the cover plate used when there is no belly pump. Does anyone know where I could find one? Or can someone send me some pictures of one on or off the tractor so I can make one? I have never seen the cover, so don't know where to start on making one. (I want it to look as original as possible) Thanks John [Reply]   [No Email]

That cover in addition to covering up the big hole in the bottom of the torque tube adds significant strength to the tractor to help keep it from breaking the torque tube from an unknown event. I have a couple like the one pictured by Randy (neblic) if that is the way you decide to go. My email is open if interested in one, Hal.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I got jumped all over on one thread when a puller wanted to remove the rear cover of a large frame tractor to reduce the weight and I had the nerve to suggest it also provided strength and stabililty for the final drive.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I don't think the old mechanical lift cultivators used that but could be wrong on that. You could easily fashion a heavy sheet metal cover as those cast ones are pretty scarce at least they are around here.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I always assumed it was to fit some type of tool or lever for installing the pump into the cavity...   [Reply]  [No Email]
