IH put a 20hp engine in there with rag joints. It’ll be fine if you use good parts. Especially with a 12hp up there

It’s probably just the pulley. I don’t know. Haven’t done one.

Seems like the whole PTO is different. They do look like a bolt-up connection which will be nice.

That's fine by me, the headlight panel is for sure way easier to find than the grille. Do you have both parts of the grille?

Not sure what you mean. There's a lower grille which I have and the upper grille which is the headlight panel which I do not have.

I thought there was a mesh part and the bar part of the grille? All the part diagrams list the grille as two separate parts not counting the headlight panel.

I have never seen a tractor with that mesh part so I don't have it.

Fine by me.

Edit: Me, being an idiot just realized that to do the hydro lift swap I'll need to swap the dash, add that to the list of parts...

That mesh part was removed on later tractors and was only on very early 82 series tractors. It ended up getting plugged a lot and causing overheating so ih came out with a grille improvement package that replaced the insert and screen with a different insert that had additional black bars in it.

Oh, that makes sense. Well I'll be fine anyways.

You don't need to switch the dash. The metal part already has the hole for the lever so all you need to do is cut the hole in the plastic part which is easy to do it you trace the hole off the metal part.
