My son in law had a problem with a Cockshutt in a shaft for distributor timing. He checked everywhere and none was to be had, The tractor wrecker told him he got calls for that part all the time and he might as well "tarp" the tractor because it would be sitting for a long time. He took the broken shaft to work and drew a CAD (computer assisted diagram) and gave it to the machinist out on the shop floor. It cost him about twenty bucks. I told him he should have got about ten of them made up and then traded them to the tractor wrecker for other parts. I'm not so wise as the lawyer guys but if you cannot find a part I see no reason why you can't manufacture one yourself, scale and mass production of parts is another issue, but as long as you are not selling it as an original part, advertising it as so or putting a logo or decal of a tractor company on it..I see no reason not to..you can design and sell loaders, snowblowers, 3-point hitch systems, parts ought to be fair game as well.....Mike in Exeter Ontario
