Ford Workmaster 661 connecting rod

[wolfraider]

Does anyone know where I can get a connecting rod for a Workmaster 661? Everywhere I have checked was out of stock. I purchased this tractor to only discover that the #4 connecting rod was bent and the piston broken. The crank checks out fine, no rough surfaces or groves and the mic checks out. All other pistons and rods look fine although I am going to order a complete new rebuild kit with new pistons.

Actually just found a guy in Arkansas that had the parts I need.

Also Rippee's Tractor Salvage near Park Hills, MO. They will ship.
