How hard is it to find a Warford Cast Iron Front Coupler/ U Joint Housing?

Post by Benji » Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:34 pm

Evening all,

Been going through stuff for my various projects that have been on the backburner a few years. I have a cast-iron Warford 920-2 in the barn for a speedster project. In doing a bit more research, it seems I'm lacking the front coupler ball/ U Joint housing that connects the front of the warford to the back of the T trans.

How hard is it to find one of these? I never see any for sale (well, haven't noticed any lately, nor anything reasonable), and every complete Warford I see it a great price is a million miles away from my little podunk Indiana town. (If you could call it a town, haha!)

Snagged this pic of one off the internet.

Thanks
Benji

Benji,

It's not hard at all if you just need a coupler and are not dedicated to completely cast iron. I have some for sale in usable condition. The last time I put them up in the Classified Section, no one was interested.
