| Is there any parts that are not sold by any of the usual sources or parts you would like to see a better quality of. The reason I ask it I'm looking for parts I could reproduce and sell as I am not able to get a normal day job. Thanks for any ideas? |

Do a Google search for gas tanks for a B. All sorts of other sheet metal parts are out there, but a new gas tank for a B is not to be found. Even finding a used tank is a trick. Of course building the dies to stamp form the two halves would cost a small fortune. Injection/blow molding still would require forms/dies. Fiberglass could be done if after the two halves are joined a sealing liner was employed as ethanol mixed gas will cause leaks. The kicker is after all the work is done just to make a reliable tank you might sell 6 a year. ------------- Put the bunny back in the box! 1938 B, 1977 Yanmar YM2200 No private messages: use email: theropod AT yahoo DOT com |

Tall order, to find enough of a market for reproducing parts to support yourself, by the sounds of it, that's what you want by the statement of finding a day job. You could move here, we are hiring. What equipment do you have, and what are your talents or specialties? Seems you could start a repair and light machining or welding business and be "somewhere" closer to what you're looking for.

| Hydraulic parts! Controls, valves, seals, rebuild kits, etc. All the parts sites are extremely limited on the hydraulic parts they carry. |

| Gearing might be a good option. I see a lot of people on here looking for and having a hard time finding them. I'm sure other makes have the same problems. |

Drawbars. Manufacture or refurbish drawbars for the earlier stuff, pre- three point hitch. Every antique tractor I've bought had a buggered up drawbar. Cracks, bends, bad welds, and ovaled out holes. Find old ones or the ones your customers send you and make'em right. Straighten, weld, fill, grind , and machine as needed. Then sand blast, powder coat and ship to the customer. You might be surprised what some folks will give for a factory fresh B or CA drawbar? To increase production you could also service other tractor brands as well as AC.

| I'm in need of a couple of those blade pivot blocks. The bolt holes are tapped. I have two blocks with snapped off bolts in them that I couldn't dig out. So I have a blade in pieces because I need replacement blocks. It's on one of my many "to-do" lists. |

| Does anybody in central mn have one of these blades or could send me more exact measurements of them? It looks like the back block has a flat piece attached for the angle adjustment correct? |

| I cut mine off and welded it back on the new one not that hard. |

| Could somebody get me more precise measurements? I drafted it up as you described and the bolts go into the center hole |
