Thanks that what I have heard from my local mower repairer, he said as it is a Foote gearbox it would be hard getting parts. He said they were hard to to get parts 20 yrs ago. I found this page http://www.searspartsdirect.com/par...Model-33864A/0736/1509200/WL000261/00010 looks similar but as you can see most of the parts are unavailable any way.
