You can find several rebuild parts at local NAPA stores, etc.

There aren't really any aftermarket *performance* parts for them due to their design of being high torque low rpm machines. There is some talk at the 6066 guy mailing list of custom milling parts to improve the HP though.
They're not racers by any means, but they weren't meant to be.

The real beauty of them is that at idle you can tow a house, two barns, and a trailer with Godzilla in it up the side of the grand canyon without breaking a sweat
