Looking for John Deere Snowthrower undercarriage parts.

[supersully]

I recently bought a used Sabre 42" Snowthrower for my 2005 John Deere GX345. The Sabre has the same shell and the same undercarriage frame as the John Deere 42" Snowthrower only it is black instead of yellow. The snowthrower was missing the pully assembly bracket and pulleys on the rear of the undercarriage. I priced it out at the dealer and saw my $100 investment grow very fast. I also need chains for the rear 24x12 tires, a chute rotation arm, sway bar, and a front implement lift kit for my tractor. I have tried finding places that deal in used parts in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area but haven't had and luck. I am not interested in buying new JD parts for another $350.

Anybody know were I can get the parts around here used?

I know the pulley assembly is the same on the LX series.

Thanks

No luck going back to the seller to see if they have the parts laying around?

I have been checking CL and eBay every day and so far I have not had any luck. I am hoping that as we approach the snow season people will put more on both sites.

I did ask the seller if the parts are laying around some where but he bought the snowthrower at an auction.

Thanks for the ideas.
