Salamander Heater / Torpedo Heater

[TractorJeff]

I have this older Sears branded Salamander Heater that needs some maintenance parts (filters). Anyways after searching for a while and apparently not being smart enough to navigate to the correct page. I thought maybe I would ask for help locating parts.
SEARS 100000 BTU HEATER
Model 40007
Spec 5060G01
Ser. G013150
Any good links will be appreciated!

UPDATE!
I wrote it was (note) working.
I ran it at least 2 hours straight the first time I got it working!
2nd weekend, I rolled it outside, turned it on, started right up, after 20 minutes, I lowered the garage door down close.
It ran about 20 more minutes, then the fire would go out, blow smoke, start back up, did this in shorter and shorter cycles till it tripped itself out.
I chuckled to myself, go figure!
Unplugged it and rolled it back in the garage to mess with after I buy more kerosene.
While I was getting Kerosene, I stopped at my Mom's and picked up the old CO-OP torpedo heater my Dad had on the shelf that probably does not work either!

Seems like a win-win to me!

Clean the photosensor, they get dusty, that's the only issue besides a frayed cable grounding out that I've ever had.

Quick update on the Sears, had it all apart today, noticed the sparkplug wire seemed well worn into the corner of the Coil. Put a piece of rubber around that spot. Seemed to cure the ignition troubles. Noticed the rear cover has cracks in it where the "air" pressure is measured. Going to replace that and get new filters to cure reliability issues on the Fuel side.
The 50k btu COOP ran fine for 3 hours straight! It needs filters also.
