Sloan express has some new 55 parts
1-800-934-9777 call for a catalog.
John Deere also still has some late-model 55 parts. Check with your dealer. Central Tractor is supposedly coming out with a combine catalog, haven't seen what's in it yet. I think TISCO also has 55 parts, so might Weaver's, but I don't have numbers or addresses for them.
As for the engine overhaul, you have to find out what engine is in the combine. Gas or Diesel, they used a couple different ones. Some were the same as the tractors. Your Deere dealer should be able to help you with the engine overhaul info.
If I find anything else, I'll let you know, and if anybody else knows anything, I encourage them to post.
