I bought most of the assembly from VPW. It's a rough cast cheap Chinese copy, but it fit. Don't know how strong it is. I made some of the simpler parts so as not to have to buy any more than I absolutely needed. Even so I think it cost $100. The trouble is most of them got broken and lost years ago. The bracket that holds it to the gear box is held on with 2 5/16" bolts, and they're just not strong enough. They break off, the whole thing gets lost, and I suppose the old farmers and such who used the trucks for years in rough condition were okay with just pounding the dog clutch in or out with a hammer or chunk of wood.
