British tractor parts

i've found most of the parts i've needed for my B414, but the sticker shock from the last part has me looking accross the pond to England or in Canada for a better source of parts.

i need a large (power steering type) hydraulic filter at the moment. but i'm also on the lookout for headlights, a tach, and (wishful thinking because the Brits used decals) metal oval B414 medallions.

anyone have any connections?

Remember where CubFest Northeast 2004 was held :?: David and Alton may have what you want, if not they have access to the cross Canada parts inventory. Send him an email... :idea: :D

i had a nice chat with a fellow from the UK, who has the headlights, tach and replacement cable, and spool valve for the hydraulic system i needed, at decent prices considering the exchange and shipping/customs.

but he explained that power steering would be a rare option in the UK on that tractor, and does not have the correct filter. so i'm still looking, if anyone can help. i am getting an education on finding parts, and learning a little 'proper' english along the way :)

What parts do you need :?: Did you contact David? There are other places for parts here as well. If you list the parts, I can check with a few of em around here in NB, Nova Scotia and PEI. They are not an uncommon tractor.

yes, i emailed David... nothing on the hydraulic filter 3 062 073 R93 (1" dia pipe), which was the important part. he did have a used spool valve. if you got any contacts, i need it.

otherwise, i'll have to buy the 3/4' version and bore it out to resolder the 1' pipe. i'm not excited about doing that

Art, My backhoe is a 3414 Diesel. Which is just a variation of the B414 more or less. I have trouble getting things too. Good thing it it reliable.
