I have a Wonder NO. 636 P wood cook stove . Does any body know where I could get a parts diagram for it or a place that has parts for vintage wood stoves I only nee 2 parts . The door hinge on the oven and the draft slide bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yes. I've spent hours looking for a view of this stove showing the assembly of it. No real luck . Ive put in the maker which is Great Western Stoves . The model no. everything I can think of . One antique dealer says they have information on it for the fee of 35 bucks . But all you'll get is a brief history lesson on stove manufacturers . No real useful information. So the search goes on.

That's too bad. I'm surprised there aren't some parting them out given the new interest in older household items. One problem might be their age and the fact that many were being replaced right around WWII. I suspect many were melted down.

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

David brought up a good point, find a good Metal Fabrication place near you. Take the broken part to them and they may be able to replicate it. They can work wonders with a welder and a grinder..

The problem with replacing parts on stoves like that with machined parts is the fact most weren't machined to begin with. Wax and sand was the CNC of that era.:rolleyes:

Sure was and welding cast iron is a major pain . Found one part and the place that does some of them . But I still need assembly instructions in an exploded view. Think I'm up the creek without a paddle.
