I have a broken ear on my (new to me and my first) D-17. Here is the pic: Anybody got the housing? Can I fix this easily? I doubt it, so I need one. Oh yeah, I DID NOT DO THIS. It came to me this way. I know better.  Also, what will I need to hook up a Tach/Operating Meter to this? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

Got one from Rick, THANKS Rick!! Looks GREAT! Now, anybody got the little piece that the bolt goes through and hold the distributor in place? I can find a standard bolt, so I don't need that, just the little metal piece. OR, I could make one too... Also guys, what do I need to make my Operations Meter (Tach) work? If I take the little rubber piece off the end, I guess I could see what is there. But I am thinking I need: 3 70261605 1 SHAFT ASY., flexible 52-1/2" (Gasoline) (Use w/ 70261609) 14 70228769 1 NIPPLE, drive (manual steering) (Gasoline) 15 70228768 1 ADAPTOR, operation meter drive (manual steering) (Gasoline) ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

| Looks like you have the drive adapter, on the dist. Take that rubber cap off and see if there is a loose piece that drives the cable. (can't remember if it takes one, lol!) Good luck finding the internals, but I think you can still get the meter... |
