I just found and bought an old 1970 John Deere 140 H3 and it needs a lot of work. It was basically left out in a pasture to rot away. I intend on getting it back operational. I found the main reason it was parked after close inspection this evening. The transmission linkage Cam (M42529) is broken in half. The Arm (M42356) is broken off close to the base where it pivots.
I'm hoping I can weld the Cam back together and save it, providing it's just steel and not some sort of cast? However, the broken piece of the Arm is long gone. That could also be fabricated and welded back but I would need a good one to go by.
What's the chances of someone out there having an Arm or even a Cam in their spare parts?
I also need a good left hand side hood/grill support (Cowl) with the hump for the exhaust pipe. Someone hacked mine up right where the hump was to put a straight pipe on it.
Thanks for any help!
