Need pasts for a 30 John Deere pull-type combine

I bought a pretty good JD 30 combine, but it is missing the drive pulley for the reel. I'm figure it is hanging on a nail where the combine was stored, but the estate assured me the barn was cleaned out.
Anyone have an idea where I might find one? I'd like to try it out on some oats this summer.
Thanks.
 
If you're near East Central Illinois (Monticello), I have one sittin,
needs work or for parts, take the whole thing, free if not going to scrap. May be able to help load and/or cut to fit on trailer, lol.

In Sept 2012 there were (30) model 30 John Deere combines on the Field Of Dreams auction at Pierce,NE..All 30 went for scrap at around $400 each....Its a shame as lots of good parts were lost forever..Some of these combines were in nice shape..

Are you talking about the sprocket that goes on the right wheel, that you loosen and tighten to engage the reel drive? Or another part?

Yes, it has a handwheel (according to the manual I bought for it.)I'm sure I could cobble something together to make it run, but thought someone might have one. I'm in SE Indiana. If I were closer to some of the listed combines, I'd sure take a drive over and buy a part. Thanks for all the advice so far.
 
I have handwheel and sprocket on an old JD 12-A that you can have. I think they are the same. We have a JD 30 in the shed. The 12-A is outside and rusty but I think I can get it off with a little effort. Will be glad to ship it. Let me try to get it off. My email is gfoster at yadtel dot net.

Your in South East Indiana,I'm in East central IL, no more than a few hundred miles, if you want it, kids just unloaded my gooseneck for me, I could probably pull it up on there and deliver it. Its rough, but a lot of parts...

What a darn shame. Tryin to save this rough one for parts,
God ain't makin no more land, and no more old parts.
I coulda bought them and stored them here, and become a JD30 used parts go to guy, lol. What a shame.
 
Thanks all for the help. I never thought I'd get so much helpful feedback.
Can't wait to progress to whatever the next problem will be!
