Elwood front axle

Trying to help a friend with a Jetstar 3 that is equipped with an Elwood front assist. Web searches led me to Trac 4 Inc. in Wilminton Il, but when I tried to call, it said the number has been disconnected. Does anyone here know a source for parts for this unit? It has a just over 1000 serial stanped into the axle.
 
M504 and M604 used an Elwood axle. Very rare to find either. Know of no factory JS3 that fwa. When JS3 came out in 1964 Elwood front axles had been replaced by Coleman. Do you have a picture of tractor? Most of all mfwa originated from military applications.
 
Elwood Made a Kit for every Moline in the 1960's. I have seen 3 on Jetstar 3's. The transfer case and brackets were the only thing manufactured by Elwood. The front axles were made from purchased componments. The first Jetstar 3 Kits used an axle which was surplus at that time from a WWII vintage CCKW deuce and a half. I have seen two Jet 3's which had this early axle, both were early brown belly tractors and were installed at the dealer when the tractor was new. I have seen one late Jet 3 Super which had a later Elwood axle. By this time, Elwood was purchasing Rockwell differential and axle tubes and welding on White Half track outer hubs and joints. If this is Duane's tractor, I looked it it Sunday and he is aware now of what he needs.
 
Yes it is Duane's. He asked me to find him the type of boots that do not require disassembly of the axle. He had said it used White half track axle parts, but as I wrote, the great glowing oracle (Google) sent me towards a source that has their phone disconnected. Since I posted yesterday I found a place called Gary's Half Track Parts, but I have not tried calling them yet.
 
Trac 4 closed down several years ago. I ordered zipper boots for Duane already. He should be all set. Any other parts he needs for the front hubs should just be standard bearings and seals.
