Hey guys, I need a gear cover and screws for a Columbia model "B" (Eagle). If anybody out there has one or knows where I can get one other than the one that has been on Ebay for about a year for $$$$$$ big bucks! Let me know.

Thanks! Wes

Wes,

If your serial number is less than approx. 120,000, the belt cover should be plain (no stamped information). Above around 125,000 the belt cover should have stamped information, although no serial number stamped on it (only the caseless Bs had serials stamped on their belt covers).
