Title: International 50 Series Interchange
Post by: ReelDragJam on October 01, 2018, 06:39:44 PM
Hey guys and gals. Quick question. I just started a International 50TW rebuild and it's bad. Side plates are rough. Was wondering if anyone knows whether or not any  of the side plates from other models are direct interchanges, either side. Can find 50S, 50T and 50W plates no probs. Thank you for your help.

i believe they should.  you should be able to mix and match parts.

I was thinking you could also but wasn't sure. If I get one and try it out I will post my results. Thanks for the reply.

Without doing any research, my first thought is no, the 50S/50SW right side plate can not work on the 50T/TW.  

The 50S/SW/T/TW Left side plates should all be interchangeable.
