You might try Yesterday's Tractors and Fix That Ford. I recently saw that FarmerLink has a good price on fenders.

Thanks

I ordered what I needed this morning, mostly from Yesterday's tractors, got fenders from tractor restoration supply and brake drum from another that I can't remember. I haven't heard of "Fix that Ford or Farmerlink" I'll check them out to see if I paid to much. Thanks

Anyone bought parts from Dennis Carpenter?
I almost did, but in the end got a 2nd hand part from Malcolm Hipperson.
DC seemed pretty helpful.
All the best :wink:

Got my fenders delivered, I was a little disappointed with the fit. Also got my new floor boards, same there. Floor boards are thinner metal than original and mounting brackets had to be discarded. The length was to short to get around hydraulic pump cover. Used the old brackets but have to redrill some holes in floor boards. The fenders where they mount to the floor boards are 2in short so I plan on making a flat 3in extension to connect to floor board and then to fender.Making progress

Brake drum

Got my new brake drum today.I should have returned it but I used it anyway. The hole pattern was slightly smaller. Barely damaged the threads going on. The only way it would go was to turn the lugs nuts 1/8 turns with an impact wrench until it finally bottomed out. After all that, It became clear that the part that touches the rim is much thicker so that when the tire is mounted, the wheel studs only have 1/2 the thread of the lug nuts. It took 20 minutes to get it on and I'm afraid it will never be able to be taken off again????

I looked for a radiator cap for Dotty and Nuffy at the Shrewsbury Show and I have never seen so much rubbish on offer masquerading as parts for tractors.

The radiator caps did not have pressure seals and were made of a similar material to the tins I get cat food in. No, I take that back! The cat food tins are thicker!

Why people buy this stuff is beyond me.

(Rant over). :D

Walts Tractor Parts, Mexico Missouri.

This question is asked many time on YTMAG, but you cannot post the above words, just won't post.
I stopped while driveing thru Missour, in this basically internet order facility. It was 10 miles out of town, and one mile down a gravel road. But, I was able to walk thru the warehouse, and I'd have a good start on putting a Dexta together from stocked parts. Chrome badges and things I thought only available in Britian.

Known locally as Unger Tractor. Google Walts & Fordson...
