Case IH Specialty Repair
“I own and operate a welding and machine shop in Orland, Calif. Three years ago we made a hydraulic control valve plate for a customer’s Case IH MXM 140 tractor because he couldn’t get the part from the dealer. Recently, he came back to order another plate when one of the other stock plates broke,” says Bernard Flynn, Flynn’s Welding, Orland, California.
  “The stock part is a heavy casting that cracks along a groove in the back. We machined our new parts from 4-in. solid steel and they’ve held up well for my customer. Given the repeated failure of the stock part, I think others might be able to use the upgraded part.
  “The dealers can special order the Case IH part for $330. I make my improved part out of steel for $300 in small quantities, less if ordered in larger quantities. I will sell the ones I have now for $300 plus shipping. The part fits Case IH MXM 140-160 and Puma 105-220.”
