my bro-in-law and i are currently working on a minneapolis moline 445 wide front with the 206 gas. we need parts and lots of them. this tractor is a real good project. we are looking for the gauges, rings, bearings, front main seal, hoses, governor (at least the rebuild kit or balls), oil pump rebuild kit, exhaust rise, tune up parts and possibly another parts tractor. i was spoiled by the parts availablity of my 9N. next step is the agco dealer ( i can only imagine how much that will cost!!)we are located in eastern michigan. i was also wondering which other tractors have parts that are interchangable with the 445. we are willing to travel to find the parts. i can be reached at [email protected] or ill check back with this board. thanks

I HAVE SEVERAL 445 PARTS TRACTORS BUT GAUGES ARE HARD TO COME BY I HAVE HAVE HEARD OF INTERCHANGE ABILTIY WITH SOME MASSEY COMBINE GUAGE SET. BEST PLACE I HAVE FOUND TO BUY NEW PARTS IS WELETER'S IN VERONA MO. OH YEA I AM LOCATED IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WHICH IS A LITTLE DRIVE BUT I CAN SHIP PARTS

Wendell Everett 740-922-3335 (Ohio) is also a good source for parts.

I question the need for the oil pump kit. Are the gears bad? I've always put the pump back together with the correct end play in the gears and had plenty of oil pressure. Tune up parts are available through NAPA.

I think you should change the governor for the later jetstar style flyweight if its giving trouble. I think it fits right in the place of the flyball assembly. This will co$t you a few dollar$.

Bearings were still available from Federal Mogul in February. The front main seal is a standard CR or Federal Mogul part number. Your old seal should have the number stamped on it.

NAPA also has a good full gasket set for that engine too.

If the correct hoses are not available, e-mail me. I can give you a couple of NAPA numbers that will work.

As far as gauges go, if what you have works you might consider cleaning them up and using them. I'm told that the big problem with the Massey gauge cluster is the tach turns backwards. (Actually its the Moline tach that turns backwards. ITs hard to find a tach cable wound right for the Moline.)

Another route to go on gauges is to use a Jetstar gauge panel that uses regular auto style round gauges. Les Wenzel sells them. I don't have his phone numbers. Probably Welters and Everett sells them too.

Good luck. Don't give up. The parts are out there somewhere. Just not 1 stop shopping like the Ford was.
