The carb boot is available through Matt on Newbreed, and the taillight is still available through Deere.

Hi guys,
Unfortunately for us Deere discontinued the taillight earlier this year after nearly 42 years in production.

Couldn't find the boot on newbreed website. I need the one between airbox and carb. Maybe I just missed it. Couldn't find a part number in Sportfire parts book either. The one I took off is part number M67939, same as Trailfire. Is that the right one or is there different one for Sportfire?

Also I did check with deere on taillight but as Joe said they have discontinued them and only dealers that showed them in inventory didn't have them left when I called.

Thanks
Jamie

Several other brands used this same tailight/lens combo like Rupp, Scorpion and others.

There is no boot between the carb and air box, the box clamps right on the carb.

I don't have the intake to carb boot right now, not available.

That would be why parts book doesn't show one. Thanks Matt, I will try it that way.

Still looking for oil tank spring.

Thanks

I've seen a few people looking for the oil tank springs. I just bought one from deere last fall so they should still be available new

It does look like Deere still can get the oil tank spring. They are also used on 4020 tractor so thanks for the help.

The air box I have on this Sportfire has a notch that doesn't line up with carb. I found a parts book that lists an adaptor M68655.

Thanks
