Hello guys, I was wondering where do you get small parts and things? Like u-nuts, throttle bolt, vacuum advance tube, things like that, thanks.

Vaccuum line is the same as brake line. U nuts? Maybe wing nuts, any good hardware store should have them. The ball stud that goes on the carburetor for the linkage to hook on? Never had to buy one yet. I have enough Holley carbs left over from the 70's that if I need one I take one off.

I buy most of my hardware & supplies in bulk at McMaster-Carr -see LINK below. I can find just about everything I need there and work on others tractors still, so rebuild all my own components. Some basic hardware supplies I will get at my local CNH dealer as he has a good selection of hardware in stock, with many standard and non-standard items you won't find at any wally-world/tsc/fastenal/ace hardware/home depot/lowes place and if so will be way overpriced; total useless ripoffs in my opinion. I avoid those places at all costs. You can usually get a pack of ten bolts for the cost of one at any of those places...trust me. Stocking in bulk ensures you have ample supply of parts to have handy for other projects as well.
