[AT] IHC Model 55 Hay Baler parts wanted

[Easley, Greg]

I've got one of those power units at the farm.  It's not in real good
shape but is mostly complete.  It wouldn't take a whole lot $$$ for it
to find a new home.

Hello,
        I have a friend that is looking for some parts for the engine
unit used on the Model 55-T or Model 55-W Hay Baler made by
International Harvester.  This has a 113 CID gas engine, and looks
virtually identical to a Farmall A except it is less the wheels and
transmission, and has different sheet metal and a belt drive unit on the
rear.  We are near Portland, Oregon.

He needs, in any condition:

radiator;
grille (looks different than a Farmall, is taller and looks like a
homemade sheetmetal box with screen); spark arrestor (does not use a
muffler with raincap like the Farmalls), this is the pipe from from the
manifold up; air cleaner assembly (the main assembly is identical to a
Farmall A, but it has a different precleaner, but that is still
available new); front crank (may or may not be the same as a Farmall A);
rear crank (to fit the belt drive unit) rear crank nut (this is the part
the crank pin engages, fits onto the drive shaft, someone took it off
long ago); top and side sheet metal cowlings or fairings; oil filler
breather cap (I believe this is the same as Farmall A, and there should
be a yellow decal near the base); governor rod (this is the one between
the carb and the arm off of the governor, this is still available new);
hour meter with associated mounting panel and wiring (this was an
optional item, and is mounted on the right {passenger} side of the motor
on the bellhousing); and generator brackets (both the one on the block
and the one on the water pump, I believe this is the same as Farmall A);
and that is all for now.

Also, if you have one of these units, and it still has the decals, I
would like to get some photos of the decals.  The parts book shows this
as being devoid of decals except for one, and ours has a bunch that are
not in the pictures, but is missing the one that is.  

If you have any of this stuff, drop me a line with your e-mail address
or phone number, and I will forward it onto him, and he can contact you.

Thanks in advance for your help.
