'52 mc crawler
Hi guys , Starting to assemble my recently aquired MC , How in the world did they expect you to change battery???(door on left side only opens 5 inches)
You have the wrong battery door, someone has put a tractor door on it. The MC's used a split hinge so the door could be removed. Either you need to unbolt the door to get the battery in, or you need to modify your door. Weld the hinge at a 90 degree angle, and put two short studs in place of the hinge bolts so you can remove the door.

I never realized the door on my 52 mc was wrong!
I looked at the parts manual I have and I think I see in the exploded view 2 doors:
part# AM 358 T tool box and battery shield ass (for AM749T)
part# AM 957 Cover, battery and tool box (for AM750T)
Is AM957 the one for the MC or is the cover another door that goes over the battery door?
Does anyone have any pictures of this area for a crawler?
Thanks

doors?
In the 42 years I've been around our MC, all I've ever seen were the hinges . Now I have an incomplete 52.
If it's worth doin', it's worth doin' right.
