Hello
I am michael and i am 19.
I would like to know (so far indicative) where you can buy new parts for Kettenkraftrad such as torsion bars, wheels, torsion bar housings or brake drums, track links and their rubber pads. Of course, more parts are welcome :)
Very, very scarce vehicle you ask about. Parts are very hard to find. Do you have one presently? Love to see what you have, even a basket case.
Keep an eye on eBay and repair/recondition the parts that you have as much as much as possible.
We had a guy do a restoration and we followed it here on the forum. You might be able to look up his work. I remember him having to create a fair amount of fabrication. There's a fully restored, operating Krad down the street from me at an aviation museum where they use it to tow around their several German WWII aircraft on flying days.

We're the wrong people to ask, it's your countrymen you want to ask.
And at this late date, I suspect the only Krads or parts that are going to be found will be in farmers barns or fields or sunk in rivers and swamps.
I would go to the farmer's markets and walk around with some photos of a Krad in rough condition and just ask if they know where anything like that can be found. It was a vehicle that appealed to farmers for obvious reasons.
If you want to focus in more, find out where the German airfields and lines of retreat were and work those areas.
It's a long shot, but even if you don't find exactly what you're looking for, you may find some other stuff that might be sold or traded for what you want.
