been looking for an NP-435 and finding lots of good deals sometimes even under 100 bucks for an NP-435 but not a single one from a 2WD with the square pattern.
Started to wonder if I should try to make it work with the trapezoid pattern. I know the adapters are out there but I'm a little confused on the output shaft. What output shaft do I need and will I be able to find it? If I did find the right output shaft to tide me over for now I think I'd still be shooting myself in the foot because eventually i'd like to add a 203 doubler and the Wild Horses 435>203 adapter plate is for square pattern.
Any good sources for NP-435s? Rebuilt or used? I'm not finding much on ebay or craigslist. I know WH and Tom's sells them but they're a little pricey. Or is 1100 from WH a fair price if it includes the adapter? I'd prefer spend the ~$400 on the adapter and find a cheap 435 to rebuild myself.
