I know of the gentleman you are referring to but I cannot remember his name. I know people that have bought from him but I have not personally. I have bought quite a few things from Ray Weaver in Stevens Pa. That its who Shorty is talking about. His business is Ray's IH parts. There are other good places online to get parts as well. Rich Patton who is a member here sells Cub parts. His business is Patton acres. There are others as well, good luck. Ohh and I grew up on IH farm tractors and am a member of the IH collectors club so you caould say I like Cub Cadets. LOL!!OK. Thats interesting. Bought this from a guy that said its a narrow frame. I see your a Cub fan. Is there anywere in your area,or in eastern Pa. that i could get some used parts? I seen a business card of a guy in Franklin Co. Like Shippensburg/Newburg area. I cant find his number. Thanks for the response.
