Dan,
I'll take the transmission filter and then signal.
I may also take the stereo install kit, but need more info. The aftermarket
stereo install in my wagon is a total hack job, I'd love to have the factory
harness connector and then a pigtail like what Crutchfield sells with their
Trans filter is taken, as is the exhaust hanger.
The signal is yours as is the stereo install kit.
The stereo install kit is from Crutchfield, and consists of a four pin
connector that plugs into the car’s power harness along with four speaker
sockets pigtails that plug into the speaker
To those who died in service to our country, Salute! We have not forgotten.

Look at a JD 5500N MFD or similar vineyard tractor. Should be some

than big tractors like a MF 275 to IH 1066. But it is not a big
tractor at all. smaller
