Hi Zane, Yes I do repair tractors, cars, trucks, equipment, etc.,I have an Uncle who Farms around 400 acres, and another Uncle who runs a logging company so it was hard not to be running and fixing things at a young age. Then I did the dealership route for 12 years, and got sick of being indoors and now I am back outdoors doing equipment repair, again. 1953-1964 Ford tractors are my full time hobby side of the business, I bought out the old Elenco Products Co. about 10 years ago and reproduce quite afew parts for the front ends, I do S-O-S repair, I have 3 of my own S-O-S's 2 Diesel and 1 Gas all 4x4's. I buy most of my parts right from two of my local Ford dealers, some Ford stuff is expensive but I have never had a failure(so far)from Ford parts and sometimes you have no choice if you want new parts ,Dual disc clutches that are not built by Ford have been my worst aftermarket failure, so it's Ford or take it somewhere else on those. Most of the five speed parts are still available from Ford but at a cost of over a $1000 so I have been lucky so far as to not have had to buy any gears yet. I have some good salvage yards out here(I live in Mass.)but nobody like to part out trannies anymore so parts are getting harder to find if you don't want a complete unit, I know where there are some gears at one place but didn't see any forks or gates or cover parts but they might be there, if you need anything let me know. You wouldn't happen to have a control valve for a power steering box, I got one apart that is split in two, and a new one is not cheap, and I can't even find a used box so far. Thanks Tony Jacobs
