Missing old snow thrower parts

[Troyh 1]

I'm missing a few parts on an old snow thrower. Just looking for a good source for parts. I have a 1966 Wheel Horse 1056 with what I canTell is a  toro 6 1211 thrower on it. I'm missing 2 of the the shroud rollers and the cable. A few other bolts, but I'm sure I can find them. Any help would be appreciated.

@Troyh, shroud rollers ?  did you mean chute guide rollers ? at the base of the discharge chute ? if that's  what you need , your local h/w store  would have them in the small pull out drawer section . pete

the cable

 

I'm not sure the original diameter of the cable but I just bought 33 feet of 1/16" stainless cable (aka 'wire rope') for under $8.00 on Amazon, time will tell how it holds up but I think it will be fine.

 

I also saw the same cable plastic covered, but a longer length, for something like $15.00

 

Use the extra cable for a trellis to grow cucumbers on.

 

Looks like TroyH is a 'drive by poster'.  H'ain't been back.

Sorry I never got an email telling me I had replies. I tried finding the rollers locally, no such animal. I have seen a couple come up on Ebay but they must be made of gold because the wanted quite a bit of money just for one. I used a couple washers and a spacer for now, but doesn't glide as well. I did find the cable at lowes. I'm picking it up today. I tried a few different lengths of paracord till I found the length. I worked on it last weekend and everything is running strong.

I would also love to find some chains.
