Try The Gap Wrecking. They are in Cranfills Gap TX. But they will ship world wide.

Here are several places to try: Dennis Polk Equipment in New Paris, Indiana -telephone # is 800-795-3501. 2-Cylinder Plus is located in Conway Missouri, and their # is 417-589-3337. Parts4Tractors number is 256-287-9960 and is located in Huntsville, Alabama. The parts are still out there, just getting a little harder to find. I had to put a new transmission shaft in my 1953 Model 40 and we actually found a new one! Also, if you have the time and money you might look at Green Magazine. It is a very good hobbiest magazine. Good Luck! Ed B

Try www.ysterdaystractors.com They have alot of great info and I would say they would know something. There is also a great clasifieds section and vendor list for each brand.
