Thus: For my own repairs I often have to be very creative: experient with subsittutes, pull used parts form similar equipment, custom modify, or even custom fabricate from scratch. Thus: forget manufacturer replacment part numbers. Foremost I need ONE (only one please!) detail PHOTO for each part that you need - plus the details form below (1-5)! The correspondence for finding the right part for you takes a lot of time! To be exact: my work time that I need to bill for at my regular shop rate, as time spent answering parts inquiries is time not spent on my work bench. Thus: $30 minimum for the first part.
