Case IH Seat Adjuster Knob
If the seat adjuster knob on your Case IH has cracked or crumbled, it's a part we can usually sort without chasing discontinued spares. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Adjuster knobs strip on well-used seats. The factory part is made from plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.
We print these in PETG-CF. Carbon-fibre PETG is noticeably stiffer than the stock plastic, so the part holds its shape under clamping force instead of slowly creeping loose.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
