On my Case 450C, a couple years back we put new seals in the track adjusters that came with this old machine that I purchased, but both the rod & the barrel was somewhat pitted & it was not holding adjustment as it should, so bought this aftermarket setup from HW Parts Store, but upon receiving the goods there is quite a difference in size! Based on the Ser # I wanted to check in to see if my machine is a Long Track (5 bottom rollers if that makes a difference), anyhow, look at the difference in height with the rod's fully retracted. I'm thinking we will just cut down the rod length, to make it fit? Anyone else run up against this inconsistency? OEM parts were out of this word, so we went with aftermarket. Hoping we can make it work ok!
