Trying to locate some Vintage W45 Holmes Parts


1943DT969

Recommended Posts

Im working on restoring a 1943 Diamond T 969 wrecker with a Holmes W45 wrecker bed on it and am in need of some parts so figured id post up to see what may be out there.  Are there any suppliers that may be worth reaching out to for these parts?  Anyone have something of this vintage for parts?  Unfortunately some previous owner must have crashed it somehow and broke a tooth off of each gear and shattered the guard beyond repair.  

 

Not sure if these parts were shared with any of the civilian wreckers however I would assume so at least for a time before or after the war.  The setup on the W35 seems to be extremely similar and may be the same stuff however I dont have access to a parts list for the W35 to confirm.  

 

I need the following PNs: 

 

Pinion Gear- ERH-3758

Ring Gear- ERH-3735

Guard- ERH-3583

 

Finally have the truck running so onto figuring out what else I need to get it running properly.  Figure this is a good place to start haha.

I imagine it is the same on a W35 as well?

 

They definitely appear to be similar however i dont have any frame of reference measurement wise between the two.  

 

In good news, the truck is now driveable and the PTO and wrecker all work!
