Restoring WARDS T555

[Mart60]

Hi Guys...
I'm restoring the T555 Deluxe Model my Grandfather bought and rode in '71 when he was 87 years old.
I need a 2" longer Jack shaft for the GX390 HONDA I'm using.
New Brakes, Throttle and a heavier Torque Converter.
I can use all the help I can get..
I have no clue where to find them...
Thanks One and All, Mart

Good to know about hent.com as I thi k some of those parts will work on a Pacesetter or commuter.

I have been looking for the Ward manuals, know of anyone that might have them?

I did something similar and found using a “adjustable engine adapter plate” to be very helpful when lining up the engine and jackshaft. They are machined aluminum and cost about 40–50 dollars, available for sale on many sites. You just need to research and make sure you get the correct bolt pattern.
