Hello tractor people...
So I am looking for spares for my AP17 and need a engine gasket kit, a set of 4 valves, a set of guides and a starter motor.
Any leads for these parts would be greatly appreciated.

with Chris on this one. Used Senger a lot with mine.
There are also people in the US that can supply parts - I used them for some of the engine bearings and they were a lot cheaper than the European suppliers.

Thanks Chris and Ian...
I am finding the use of the site quite difficult really. I can't seem to get anything to add to my basket and they have everything I need to get the tractor running.
Looks like I am calling them tomorrow and hope their English is better than my German.

they are pretty good at responding to emails too (or at least they were a couple of years back!)

No response from them yet.
Didn't have a chance to call them as been very busy. I am also reaching out to John who was mentioned in another thread as potential source for parts.
