Jeff, try e-mailing George Randall. You can find his address by looking at his web site fridaytractor.com
He might know of a source to help.

Well its Friday here so this is what little I have found but I think it will help you.
The engine is Chrsler industrial model very popular engine made in the late 40s til the 70s or so. I think that you could get the engine model number and go to Napa and they just may be able to get all the parts for this engine.

This is from my book on tractors.

I believe there're nice little writeups on Dave Friday and Jacob Love in gas engine magazine archives articles available on their website (at least they were 6-8 months ago). Friday's supposed to be the one who started using the 2-spds, which should--repeat: should--be Dodge truck ( my Motor Truck manuals don't show a Dodge 2-spd, stating the two-spds Dodge used are Timken and Eaton, so of the two I would guess the Timken) (my understanding of the Eaton's is they were more an option than original eqpmt, but I could be wrong).
I believe that's the piece that says after 48 Friday used only Chry Cptn running gear, but sources differ whether Friday started using them when working for or working with Love, or being Love's son-in-law (sources differ on almost everything about this story, from the inception of the original 1935/6 CO-OP down thru Custom, Lehr, Wards exc twin-row, Jumbo, Simpsons Jumbo,Love, Friday, Amos O's OMC, Closson, Wilson, the canadians: Rockol, Regal, Norseman plus ???)...

After looking at the Friday web page it"s pretty apparent that they must be alergic to paint.

I am thinking that they used a Dodge truck rear end. I have a coupla friends that have them. If you cant get better information I could call one or both of them to make sure.

Just confirmed in reply to Dick L, 08-02-2007 12:25:59

I just checked and Friday along with several other manufactures at the time used the Dodge truck rear ends. The difference between what was used on the truck and tractors was that the tractors used a lever to change speeds and the truck used vacuume to change speeds. What you are after would be the same. Not all of the Dodge rear ends used on the tractors were two speed.

Yep, I'm pretty sure they used a Chrysler power train.
