DEMPSTER DIVE
I have a Dempster piston-type water pump with pressure tank, made in Beatrice, NE, that I use in the basement to pump water from a cistern. I am unable to find anyone that handles parts. Your help would be appreciated.

CRAWLER PARTS
We are looking for parts for a 1974 Massey Ferguson 300 crawler. We need parts for the undercarriage, mainly the axle on the front idler. Hopefully there is somebody who still makes parts for these and, if not, can find good used parts.

BENT FORKS
Do you have any information on the makers of fork handles? The replacement fork handles I find today at farm stores do not have hardly any bend in them at the bottom like they used to. I did notice new forks with handles that bend. The fork had Union stamped on the handle, but the store people would not tell me anything about where that company was from. Do you have a list of fork handle makers that I could contact?
