294 with bad front hub.... parts discontinued from dealer

[Rmart30]

Guys am I looking at a 294 that has been sitting about 5 years as the PO removed a bad hub on the front axle that had chewed up the gears and bearing causing hub to bust. The old bad hub was lost somewhere along the way so its sitting on 3 wheels and a jackstand.
The price on the tractor is very good IF I can find a replacement hub assembly to go on it.
Dealer shows hubs are discontinued and not available.... ive googled tractor salvage yards and out of 9 i talked to today no one has a used one.

Any tips on who to call or another tractor that the hub could be sourced from? I havent been able to get a look at the other hub to see what name is on it to see if it can be crossed over.

Any help would be appreciated before I drive 6 hours to go look at this tractor.
Also if anyone has a non cab 294 and can comment on them please feel free.

That was a Landini built tractor I think. Maybe you can find the crossover model & get the parts right from them.
