Looks like the 620 we had at work. (Actually, we had a brace of them). =
Closed the place down, and sold them to some guy in Iowa.=20
We also sold an old cotton picker. A guy came 300 miles from Alabama =
with a tow bar thingy, hooked up the rear (steer axle) wheels, and towed =
it back 300 miles home. In the dark. I've often wondered how that trip =

Guilty as charged, tho not quite what you meant :)
BTW, the clutch is under that round cover; pry the cover off then undo =
six
nuts and the whole clutch comes off in your hands. You can reline it in =
an
afternoon, using just hand tools (not even a jack is required). No =
clutch
slave at all; the clutch is operated by that big lever sticking up next =
to
the steering wheel.
I do hope to have it restored some day; but it's been slow going. Can't
complain about parts availability, though. Even though it was built in
1949, the dealer had a carb kit, batteries and an oil filter on the =
shelf.
