Does anybody use Little Dearborn for parts purchase or do you prefer Carpenter or Drake for reproductions.

I have used L D in the past and received good service. They handle most reproductions from Drake and Carpenter. Tom

I have used Little Dearborn in the past when they had NOS Ford parts that the other vendors didn't offer.

Thank you for the update. I shall give them a try and see if they have some items in stock. Seems like Drake is empty as everything I try to get is out of stock.

Yeah, I hear you. I am looking for a really, really strong door hinge pin puller (because my pins are really, really rusted in). Drake lists one but they are out of stock until some time in 2018. Does anybody know where I can get a super strong hinge pin puller? Thanks, gregg

I have heard that the Drake Hinge Pin puller only works on pins that are easy to remove. Eastwood sells a similar tool. Do a search on hinge pin removal for techniques to remove stubborn pins. Tom

If you are very patient and careful, you may be able to remove door hinge pins by using a C-clamp, an appropriately sized socket wrench, and a short pin of slightly smaller diameter than the pin you want to remove. Use lots of penetrating oil to loosen up the pin before attempting to remove it.

They were the only reliable source of parts for the 60hp Ford engines. I am glad they are still around. I wonder if their order number is still 888-282-2066 This message was edited by supereal on 12-10-17 @ 2:08 PM

On the postcard that I got announcing the move -- it only lists the local number 612-331-2066 Give the toll free number a try ---

Terry and his staff are always helpful not only with parts but how to use them and referrals to other resources. I would keep them on your speed dial
