I am trying find a few parts for my BNO 25 . Anybody out there parting out a BNO? I need the rear wheel hubs with the brake disc fingers and lugs. Also looking for a few other parts but the hubs are the priority.
Any help is much appreciated.
 
Thank you . I will try posting over there .
I did notice several posts on BNO tractors on the 9n/2n page. Thought I would give it a try .
 
You and every other Tug owner is looking for original parts. Don't mean to be crass, but just rare as hens teeth to find these days. Bear in mind there were not very many Tugs actually built, Ford records indicate 10,000 or so give or take. Also, when WWII ended, much ordnance was shipped back to the West Coast bases. Many items were dumped overboard enroute. Some Tugs were reconditioned and used on airfields, warehouses, and bases and some were delegated to be stripped down and reverted back to standard 2N tractors. Many tugs were found on the west coast by current owners, but I know two fellas with Tugs in California and both are still looking for parts. Ironic is one of them use to own a BNO-25 but sold it to Ford guru Dwight Emstrom and that Tug is pictured in a few Ford Tractor books. Don't bother Dwight; I asked him years ago about Tug parts and he can't help -he doesn't have any. You have two options. One is to be very patient and keep looking. The second is to contact a current Tug owner and ask if you could 'borrow' their parts to reverse engineer and then have someone fab them up. Chances are they are not going to loan out their rare original parts, but you might get them to sketch up a drawing for you. I know a few other Tug owners who have done this as well with seats and fenders. Do you have the original, or a copy of the original Moto-Tug MPC/Price List? It is available on the other Ford N-Series Tractor club web site for free download if not. Email me too if you want a copy of the article I wrote years ago on the Tugs...
