Restoring 1967 Ford 4400 Model#44021 Backhoe/Loader - need parts

[waynestory]

I am restoring a Ford 4400 Backhoe/Loader - Model44021 Gas - 1967

I am trying to locate a source for parts, specifically a wire harness, radiator, front end/grille, gauges, odometer, etc.
Can it be changed to an alternator or is that too difficult? What would be the benefit of changing it if it can be done?
Thanks for any help you might have.

Here is a link to NH Construction, and I've got it set to the 4400 parts menu. Official New Holland Construction Equipment Online Parts Store and Parts Finder. You can copy an paste the part numbers to a good search engine, and come up with some items. I checked the main wiring harness first, and most seems to be in stock in the UK, Australia, and others countries. I did a search at Steiner for the 4400, and they do show a harness for it, but the part number doesn't match. Price is $465, and change. I'm not sure what shipping would be from the UK, or other countries, but I'd have to convert the harness prices, then inquire about the shipping. You may be surprised on shipping costs on it. About 5 years ago, I ordered some inline diodes from the UK. They came in an approx. 3" X 5" box, and shipping was $7.50 U.S. It was shipped air mail, and was here in under 10 days.

The fuel gauge is still available through NH, but is $164. I found one in Germany,and using a euro converter, it's $109.00 US.

Seems odd that for as many as there are around, very few parts are dealer available. Grill etc. can be found in salvage yards. Here is a list of 12 in salvage yards. https://www.tractorhouse.com/listin...4/farm-equipment/manufacturer/ford/model/4400 Some have pictures, some don't.
