I have an old RTU tricycle front tractor that I'm trying to restore. Does anyone have a good source for parts? If so please let me know.
 
What are you in need of for parts? Do you happen to have the serial number for it? The serial number plate should be on the right hand side of the transmission.
 
Its 409477U and I'm still developing a list of parts I haven't got the engine apart yet definitely a muffler and clutch possibly a carburetor and coil and I'm sure a bunch of other small parts
 
There is not a date code on your R but by referring to the serial number list on this site, you can see that your tractor was built in 1944. There are service manuals, parts manuals and operators manuals available also on this site. Recommend at least a parts manual. There are a number of folks around with lots of parts. The 2 that help me the most is Welters Farm Supply in Verona, MO at 417-498-6996 and Wendell Everett in Ohio at 740-922-3335. They have lots of parts and are very helpful.
 
Acording to my master list of serial # s , your R was built in 1944. There were 1389 R s made that yr. Good luck with your project, there are lots of guys on here that will help you thru problems. clint
 
I have original manuals for the RT. Operator manual is $25. Parts manual is $25. Postage is $5.
The parts/repair manual is a list of the part #'s with corresponding diagrams. The IT manual will give step-by step instructions for repairs. We have some salvage R parts.

Go to www.minneapolis-moline.com and look around. There is a list of parts suppliers. I have used Welters and Wendell Everett (MM) with good results. Also Charlie Biler -(moline.parts.com, I think.)
 
I have parted out a couple R's over the past two years. I may have a carburetor, but it will be in need of rebuilding. I should have a used clutch depending on what you are looking for. Mufflers can be bought new. I have plenty of odds and ends small stuff laying around. My email is [email protected]
