Greg..... ...general rule of old tractors: "iff'n it ain't broke, don't fixx-itt". Iff'n you've been a long time lurker, you should know about the N-Board "archives" at the top of the page. The answer to your "Howard" gearbox questions can most likely be answered by doing a "search" of the archives. Quick answer, NO ONE KNOWS where you can get Howard gearbox service/replacement parts, even the Howard company, which is now based in Australia instead of jolly ol'England. While as a general rule, bearings are bearings. And they usually have important bitts engraved on them, like mfgr and p/n and you can usually go to an industrial "bearing house" for replacements or cross-references. This is NOT ALWAYS the case. I once needed to replace the front wheel bearing on my 1969 BMW 2002; it had name "Timkin" and p/n readily readable. I took it into a bearing house and laid it on the counter and told the guy, I need one of these. Much to the entire bearing house staff amazement, it was NOT LISTED in enny of their books. I had to make a 100mile trip to the nearest BMW Dealer parts counter, who immediately laid one in my hands, along with the matching seal. And he didn't even haffta look-itt up..... ....I wish you well, the envious Dell
