Nice shredder, I think you did alright on the price. :beerchug:

Can't wait for some action shots!

Looks good. I have a 59M also and I have the style as you do(there is two styles). If you go to http://www.cubcadet.com/webapp/wcs/s...A/040086350001 that well give you the parts breakdown. The main difference between the older and newer style is the idler belt tensioner and I've read the hopper was built stronger in the newer style. These were manufactured for IH by MacKissic, Inc.
Ph 610-495-7181/800-348-1117 and I contacted them a few months back because I purchased mine without screens and was looking for a source. (if you want a homemade version you can modify a screen from a hammermill) but they do still offer the screens and some parts.
This was from (very helpfull might I add)
