[FC] Re: Early FC shifter boot

[Ben Stiles]

Hello all.  I use a Ford New Holland shifter boot on my FCs.  I got this
part # from Ron Stern.  I wrote an article about it a few years back in
CorvanAntics.  Ron worked for New Holland and found it in the bins.  It is a
currently produced part, and is better than most boots because the rubber is
super thick and durable.  After all, it was made for a Combine tractor for
goodness sakes!
