I picked up a Farm Master 4 drawer today for $100. Its in fairly good shape. It is missing a drawer tho. I also pulled the top off of it and someone has replaced the fan with a small household fan. Is there any chance of me finding another drawer and where can I find another fan. I think I'm going to replace the wiring in the bator and maybe uprgade the thermostat to digital.

The fan can be purchased from www.gqf.com but keep the mounting hardware! That metal grid the fan attaches too.

The drawer you will have to either make or get lucky and find one at some weird flea market/store/etc. If you can find some redwood planks you can make a new drawer by copying the other one. I was lucky and found 50 year old planks of true redwood on craigslist to repair the pretty one.

I bought 2 because the first one (pretty one) I got had no original parts. The second (ugly one) has original parts but the wood is not the best quality so now I am rebuilding the pretty plank wooden one for inside the house (looks like a great redwood end table for the couch) and using the ugly as a shed bator. I am copying the parts from the ugly one to rebuild the pretty one. The ugly one had some busted trays that I will just remake using hardwood planks that I can find for low cost. (planks is 1"x4")

You can get the fan and thermostat from someplace like gqf but I suggest going to a pro electrical shop to replace the other parts of wiring etc. Some of the parts are a little hard to find if you want to try to keep as original as possible.
