Hi all - When replacing the bottom cover and gasket on the transmission trying to fix a bad leak, one of the cover bolts snapped with torquing. It is a 1941 Series 61 3 speed.

Of course the one that broke is one of the two 9/16" heads that has what looks like a long extension to hold transmission gear shafts in place. Ugh.

I can't find a source online for replacement bolts. Does anyone have spares or a source for these? Thanks in advance!

Dan, I would take the two parts to the hardware , find a grade 8 bolt the same size and length and see my machine shop to have it turned to match the original shape.  Tim
