Thanks @formariz working on getting some ordered.

 

FYI, I did get an email back from  http://www.hitnmiss.com/31.html and there neck is only 5/8" tall so it's to short for any of our wheelhorses,

This one is exactly like the original one.Its a perfect fit.

 

It was driving me nuts but finally found it.

Thanks for the link to that company - I see they also sell quite a few odd parts I need. Going to get some oil cups, oilers, fuel necks/caps, sight glasses, and gib keys. Very tough to find that stuff, let alone at the prices they are charging.

Funny reason as to  what led me to find the parts. I was always fascinated at shows by the vendors of hit-miss engine parts. They have an incredible variety of very interesting items which are never seen anywhere. So one time I was just spending some leisure time online going through their catalogues out of curiosity and bingo, I found the filler necks.

I find a lot of things the same way - hunting for one thing and finding stuff that will work for other jobs. No wonder I have so many odd parts around here, doing nothing but collecting dust. Go hunt around through the steam engine parts sites - especially for the larger models and backyard steam engines. Those places have some truly cool parts that can be used for a lot of odd jobs - or fixing issues with our tractors.
