Parts for something of this age may require you to buy from a number of sources including ebay and a rebuild shop is not going to get involved in something where they have to procure parts (some of which may be used) from a number of non-commercial vendors.

Your best bet is probably finding a smaller shop that will do the work with you in charge of finding parts. Since you may be reliant upon some parts that are used, there is not going to be a warranty on the rebuild and it will be an expensive process. If there is a vintage tractor pulling group in your area, get in touch with them because you will find resources in terms of parts and people who do machine work on less common gear.

Maybe look at re-powering with a more recent engine if this isn't going to be show tractor or one restored for sentimental reasons. Anything can be rebuilt if cost is no object (even down to custom machining of parts) but with older equipment sometimes it is far less expensive to just buy something used but much newer.

Dan,

I hope they can help you out! There are some incredibly talented people in those groups who are also very good at finding difficult to find parts.

A few years ago, I had fun photographing a vintage tractor pull which was part of our village's "Corn Daze" festival. There were a few on-site repairs taking place during the pull with competitors jumping in to help each other: https://rodgersingley.smugmug.com/Corn-Daze-2019/n-n9DTdL

Thank you! It was a fun group to photograph although I spend most of my photography time as a volunteer HS sports photographer.

Just over 2 weeks until football season starts and I get to be back on the sidelines :)
