Thanks for the reply. The gearbox is kinda boxy but I would rather do it in cast iron or, perhaps, aluminum. The aluminum would require an engineering analysis and I may not want to get involved in that. I prefer the cast because I want it to be indistinguishable from an original. I have done business as a customer and a vendor to several foundries in my area (MA) but I think I might send the patterns to Mexico. I know a fellow who reconditions old stoves and has been happy with a foundry in Tijuana. On the other hand, I have seen some substandard foreign cast iron pipe. Inconsistant wall thickness problems. The most difficult part is an integrated shaft and gear with splines for a pulley. While I do have indexing heads, I can see that part taking me a week to make. I am hoping to find a standard gear that can be keyed to the shaft. This may be how IH did it. I won't know until I remove my gearbox from my tractor and look it over. It would be nice if IH could deliver that part.
