Ive recently brought home a Cockshutt 40 with a 230 Buda. The distributor is pretty worn, with quite a lot of side to side slop in the shaft which is making setting the points a challenge. Its an Autolite IAD 6001 1B. Im having trouble locating a new bushing or mechanical advance springs. Any parts I have found on line have been for Bosch dist. Has anyone found a source for parts for thelse? Or am I better off sizing them and having them made at a machine shop.

While you are into it, change it to electronic ignition. I have EI on my 30 and 35 both. Starts and runs great.

Brillman should have the parts you need. My E4 starts fine on the 6 volt. Just new points, rotor and cap.

Pertronix makes a kit for most anything. We have installed them in Cockshutts, Fords, 2Cyl John Deeres, Olivers, Farmalls and others with great results and never had a failure.

Correction. In helping another 40 owner with the same problem, I checked the brillman catalog and only found bushng and shim kits for Delco, not Autolite.
So after limited response on the Autolite distributor I took it apart to see what it needed. I found the bushings to be plain Oillite 1/2 ID 5/8 OD 1 long. My local bearing supply shop had them in stock $1.65 each. I had to side drill the upper bushing for the oil wick port and hone about 0.002 off the OD to get a 0.0005 press fit. The flyweight pivots needed cleaned up and lubed, but its back together and running smooth.
