Dads 56,
IF I read the parts book on this site correctly, the top is the same for 55 and 56. I would see about getting another top, or whole gearbox. Since you know it has a crack, why not do it while you have it out? I'm not sure of the correct torque on the bolts holding it together, but it needs to be tight enough that the middle part of the case does not spin. I had one one time on my 55 Patrician.

I have seen whole and parts for sale on these units. Mike Dulinski or Gerry at Sw Packards might have some used ones.

I do not know about the 56 switches.

Do you have an idea why the system failed and bent the bars and lever were damaged?
