Vickers Hydro Questions

[BMinor8806 0]

What is the purpose of the spring that goes from the top of the transmission down to (I'm guessing) the control pintle on the Vickers Hydro? Also I just converted my B-112 to a HB-112 and the seat pan from my donor tractor rests on the transmission, how do I fix this? Brandon

As far as I can tell this spring takes up any slop in the linkage and keeps it from rattling. I suspect that without it you might get some "surging" from the hydro. I put seat hinges on once, and had to grind the heads down to 3/16 thick on the right hinge to keep them from hitting, so it's a tight fit. This is a 3416H and I cant say what you might do on a 112 to raise the seat pan.
