Douglas: Let me take this one at a time. I'm in NC.I've found a combination of new and used. Found new bearings, used original front hub (my 85 had 1 aftermarket front hub, original was probably broken), new bird for hood, used brace that holds hood open, new head gasket kit, new manifold gaskets, some new seals, some seals that I had to hand cut, new thermostat (they tend to run a little cold), new points, plugs, new oil pan gasket, etc. Now Douglas, as for the manifold, try Mac Tractor Parts, Oklahoma. They have been a consistently good source of used parts for me. You want to talk to Johnny. Now as for the 1959 vs 1961 question. Go with the serial # registration. If it says '59 then you have a '59. It is possible your 85 was at the dealership for a while before being sold, and sometimes memory fails. You're probably in luck whith your tractor being a '59. That qualifies your tractor to pull with most antique tractor clubs. Some clubs cut off at '57, some at '59, some at '60. None that I am aware of classify 1961 as antique stock. Congratulations on finding a '59. Hope this helps.
