I am pretty new to this sort of tractor, but I just 'inherited' a 404 and it was not loved in its previous life. None of the electrics work (lights, dash, etc) looks like oil and filters were changed at one time - lots of cosmetic issues, etc.. I am struggling to find simple parts. I have rubber caps that have turned brittle along with leaky seals in the fuel system. I am reasonably sure I have a failing sensor on the clutch (due to starting issues), and that is just the quick list. Once started is runs like a champ, I will say.
I would appreciate any point in the right direction for parts, for now caps for the motor oil, fuel inlet screen, and a small rubber cap on the left front of the crank case (looks orange but could have been red) that has all but turned rock hard, cracked at the threads and begun to disintegrate. I would assume I can find o-rings pretty easily - but some of those parts mentioned are making large messes and have had tendencies to pop off while using the tractor.
Thanks in advance.
