I would buy aftermarket fenders. Try ebay. For other parts greenfarmparts.com

I would have had to have a MIG welder and all I have is a stick welder. But, I built a bracket that clamped onto the end of the transmission slider that did the job very nicely. I built it so that I had to actually bend it onto the end of the slider and had just enough room there to insert it and bend a tab into place with my channel lock pliers. I also put in a setscrew to keep it tight and installed that with some loctite for permanent installation. So, I'm pretty satisifed that the bracket isn't going anywhere. It works great and holds the end of the spring in the right location. My parking detent now works fine.

I also finished the entire tractor and have a couple of pictures I'm uploading here. It turned out great. I bought a King Kutter finishing mower and refurbished it a bit and now use the tractor to mow the old home place where I grew up. It makes quick work of the acre and a half yard! It brings back old memories to as I grew up at that place on that old tractor--drove it when it was new. In fact, I decided I wanted to be an engineer driving down the road on that old machine so it has a lot of sentimental value to me. Nothing runs like a Deere!

Rocketscientist Do you have any pictures of the part you made. I just purchased a 820 and after I went completely through the engine, I found out that I have the same shifter gate broken. I can get a new shaft with a gate for $150.00. But, I’d still have to split the tractor and divide the transform the bell housing.

I have a wire feed welder. However, if I can fab a part like yours, I’d rather not weld inside of my transmission. I have included a couple of pictures.

Did you search cavity below shift rail for the broken of piece? There has been several of those shift rails successfully repaired by welding with shift rail remaining in trans case! If you split trans from clutch housing to R&R shift rail I'll bet you won't enjoy replacing all the little shift rail balls & springs.
