Parts availability on a New Idea Model 256 Sickle Bar Mower

Found a New Idea model 256 sickle bar mower at a very good price. Anyone know where parts can be gotten for this?

New Idea was purchased by AGCO. Here's the link: New Idea . They may still offer parts for that model. I tried this page and found the parts books: http://www.agcopartsbooks.com/PartsBooksN/Viewer/Default.aspx?

Thanks....Looks like the Agco site has a contact feature. I'll give it a try.

I read on another forum a post where someone mentions this machine and the IH 1300 are the same.
