15 Motor Patrol with strange power unit

Modern power unit Cat T35D
Spring is here now so I guess sandblast season too. Hope to get started soon.
I'm still looking for the gearbox that shifts the blade sideways. If anybody has a junk #7 or #9 Auto Patrol I would like to buy the gearbox. I'm pretty sure they share the same part.

Not sure If I want to go with Gray or Yellow. On all the parts I've removed, there is gray paint under the yellow, and until it sat out in the sunlight from the Hemlock forest it was in,I could make out the old silver with red decals. Now the paint and decals have flaked away. I need to get the tractor ser# and see what year it is to help determine color too.
Mike does your 15 have the "Russell" plate on the front like Dave's Ten and Jim's Fifteen?
