Replacement parts for obsolete, expensive and hard-to-source OEM components.
When the OEM cannot deliver fast enough — or no longer supports the equipment — we can evaluate the existing part and manufacture a replacement or approved improvement.
No drawings? No problem.
Most obsolete or hard-to-source parts arrive without a drawing or schematic — and that's fine. In many cases a physical sample, a worn part, or a failed component is enough for us to measure, reverse engineer, and reproduce it. We work from what you actually have.
Built for practical industrial needs.
- Obsolete equipment components
- Imported or backordered parts
- Wear parts with recurring replacement demand
- Critical spares for high-cost downtime
- OEM and automation support components
Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation supports manufacturers across Dallas-Fort Worth with local machining, fabrication, delivery and plant-support capabilities.
A clear path from problem to finished solution.
Review the existing part or equipment information.
A sample, drawing, photo or part number gets the evaluation started.
Confirm interfaces, material and operating conditions.
We reverse engineer the component or build to print, whichever fits the situation.
Machine, fabricate, deliver and retain the data.
Drawings and programs are kept on file to support future critical spares.
What customers ask about this capability.
Can you make a replacement part without drawings?
Yes. Most obsolete or hard-to-source OEM parts show up without a drawing or schematic. A physical sample, a worn or failed part, a photo, or rough dimensions are usually enough to start reverse engineering a replacement.
What if the OEM no longer supports my equipment?
That's exactly the kind of job we take on. When a manufacturer has discontinued a part, stopped supporting older equipment, or gone out of business, we evaluate the existing component and manufacture a replacement or approved improvement so the equipment can stay in service.
Can you reverse engineer a worn or failed part?
Yes. We measure the critical features of the existing part, account for wear where it affects fit or function, and produce a replacement built to the dimensions and material the application actually needs.
Can you reproduce a part from a sample?
Yes. A sample part is often all we need. We evaluate it, confirm material and tolerances, and manufacture a matching or improved replacement — and retain the drawing or program afterward to make repeat orders easier.
Do you work with food and beverage manufacturers or sanitary environments?
Yes, we've produced components for food and beverage and other sanitary-conscious applications, working in appropriate materials such as stainless steel for the part's service conditions. We don't hold formal sanitary or food-grade certifications, so if your application requires a certified process or documented material traceability, confirm those requirements with us before the quote so we can tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Have a difficult industrial problem?
Send the failed part, photo, sketch, or drawing. We'll help determine the fastest practical path forward.
