Hi,

Great tractor! Do you have more pictures of the tractor? :)
I know a Howard gearbox for sale in The Netherlands. It should be a good one, but not cheap.
I think about 600 euro.
Let me know via PM if you need the contact details from the seller.
Best regards,
Pascal

Cool looking tractor. 8)
Whats it actually done to the reduction box? One of the gears looks to have had the teeth stripped off in one area.
Any chance of getting another gear machined? maybe cheaper and quicker option! :clap:
I look forward to following this thread.

Hi,

I will answer your PM in this thread. I still have the reduction gear. Bad news for you is that it is sold, but not picked up yet. The buyer have paid some of the money in advance, but I have not heard from him in 3 months. I have contacted him asking if he will let it go, waiting for reply. I will keep you updated.

Hi Hotrod,

I have tried to send you a PM, but I am not sure if you received it.
May be your Inbox is full? I have checked mine and it's ok.

My contact may have some spare gears.
Best regards,
Pascal

Hi Andi,

Unless Hotrod bought the reduction box, I guess it's still for sale.
From what I have been told, it's complete and in good condition.
It's located in the Northern part of the Netherlands, near "Meppel".
Best regards,
Pascal
