Does anyone know where to get basic gasket kits for the kid? Particularly the gear box to engine, and gearbox to drive seals. I know Wisconsin engine still has parts, and there are a few Vickers repair facilities around, but there some Kid unique parts that we may have to make ourselves. Shosen in Kansas had a bunch of stuff, but I believe the sons were not interested in running the business anymore and I don't know what happened to their parts (mostly carbs, distributors, and some other Kid specific parts). I enjoyed the water test video, it was a white knuckle ride from my computer. Anyone have some good advice on parts? Bill
