1953 R-130 spring related parts
My very fine 1953 R-130 and I were hauling 4 tons or so of logs, mostly on a trailer, to the sawmill yesterday. A complete moron mail-carrier in a Chevy blazer was zooming backwards in my lane.....I got my right-hand side clear across the ditch, but got sideswiped hard anyway.
Thank God, nobody hurt. Kinda glad he hit me instead of a mom with kids in car.
Cop agreed, 100% his fault.
Broke front eye out of left rear main leaf...IH's old # is 73 383 R91 for HD or 82 698 R91 for the regular. I THINK I had the regular springs, since originally there were only 8 leaves. I don't know what the diff would be for the main leaf. 3/8 thick, 2 1/4 wide, about 52 1/4" eye-to-eye
Bent front rear spring bracket, IH 73 185 R11
Bent wheel rim flange..I can probably pound it out.
(Ripped back end halfway out of my ball-platform and broke ball shank, but the hitch I welded to the truck looks undamaged. Similar damage to trailer, spring broke and one axle bent 45 deg, but trailer parts are easy to find.
Anyone have a lead on these chassis parts? I need my truck!
