JD pawl needed- was Re: [AT] Really depressing loss of old iron...

[Grant Brians]

Dean, it is amazing what sunlight can do! I was able to find the casting 
numbers on the other remaining pawl and the clutch cover casting this 
morning. The clutch cover is D802A and the other pawl is D797A. I assume the 
pawl I need is also D797A, but it has been lost for so many years that I 
could not say that for sure. The lister does not have any serial number 
plate, and most of the JD Green paint is now gone. It was bought new by a 
friend's father and when I got it twenty some years ago it still had a bit 
of the green and he confirmed it was a John Deere.
    I hope someone can help me find this part. I also think part of my 
problems may lie in the wear of the unit and that I might be able to shift 
where the engagement lever sits by a quarter inch to make it catch a bit 
better, but that won't solve the pawl missing issue. I need to plant the 
tomato plants this week for the late heirloom crop and then I will list the 
rest of the field so I may have a few days before I use the lister again.
    Thanks to all on the list for any help you can offer and Dean I am 
curious if you can tell me the model number of this lister. Pull-type of 
course, Three bottoms on 40" with factory markers and rope pulleys.
