I’ve got an old Case Backhoe that I’m replacing seals on, and one of the wipers is not like the others. The first picture is of the mystery wiper, and the second is of what the rest look like.

I’ve got seal kits (for 2 piece pistons, going off the number stamped on the gland) for the leaking cylinders, but I don’t have a wiper for this one (there’s only one cylinder on the machine with this).

Any info at all about this will be useful, since my google skills have not brought up anything yet.

I’m trying to get a 1974 White Western Star 4964 DOT-compliant. It had a rebuilt small cam Cummins installed in the late 90’s, then sat around for another 7 or so years, had a 12 volt starter and alternator installed along with anything else needed to convert to 12 volt. Was all ready to go, and then just never got used.

It’s been started and warmed up every 6 months or so since the rebuild, so the motor takes ~half a second to start when cold.

However, I noticed that the frame to crossmember brackets are no longer holding anything together. It drove the 40 miles here just fine at 35 mph, and I’m assuming that the 5th wheel, the axles, and other parts have now become structural.

I have the time and can set aside the money to fix it, but I don’t have experience in this kind of problem. I’d like to do it right, as this is going to be a logging truck.

Is fixing this as simple as a few measurements, buy 4 brackets for each crossmember, and remove the old, install the new? I actually have bare frame rails of a very similar truck, and have the tools to cut brackets out of them, if that’s not a hazard waiting to happen.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, this truck is in great shape (other than this problem and needing 10 new tires) and I’d love to get her driving again.
