I would not buy one. The gear end is welded on and I have seen some that have come apart. I also had one in a job where the gear end was too large. Whoever put it together must have notice it was locked up. However Henry's 40 horses broke it loose and it wallowed out the inside of the carrier. I had to replace the axle and the carrier.

They are also too expensive at about $400. There are plenty of serviceable originals still around. Try Bert's in Denver.
