Where to find?

[shawner]

     After alot of bragging on 'er, my old Jiffy is a leaker and down. Need to know if I can find a diaphram  for a '54 Jiffy 121. She's always been a good auger and hate to put it up just yet. Plus I rally can't afford 300 for new right now. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

It sounds like it's one of those wrist breaking, one arm bandit's, that I used for FIFTEEN plus years, and loved it!  Had to give up mine, because the there wasn't any blade too sharpen anymore. The blade was part of the flighting, non- replaceable! No parts available! Discontinued!    Good Luck!  shawner! Most carbs, are discontinued too.  JIFFY, made some of the first and best augers at the time! (1973 Second Hand model was mine.) Tough and simple!

Not sure if they started with a Tecumseh engine in 54 but if it is I would contact them .

     Thanks for the reply guys, that sounds like a good idea TD. It is a Tecumseh, another friend suggested a small eingine place  or a napa part place. I'll keep looking for now.

shawner! Good Luck! You're, a very brave person, to take on a quest like this! When,the replacement part system, has been broken for quite awhile!!

     Just bought a Jiffy 121 on ebay, so I'll have one for parts now. This one runs and no leaks! Hopefully its what I paid for when it gets here. Nice. There were a few plder Jiffy's on ebay over the last couple weeks, good out for me and fairly cheap as well.
