I found these linkages in my parts box and have no clue what locomotive they go to. They look like they may fit a 665/2065 but I am unsure.

The drive rod (lower) looks right for postwar Lionel Prairie-type locos (2026, 2037 and others, 2-6-2 and 2-6-4). Or maybe fits the Hudsons. These places might help you nail it down:
Looks like the linkage from a 685. I was consulting mine for comparison, same. All the 4-6-4 (minus 773) types used the same motor, as did the later 2-6-4 engines.
2055 family, 2055, 2065, 685, 665, 8206 (MPC) 8306 C&O, 8900 ATSF. You get the Idea.
Thanks for the help gentlemen! I had a hunch these belonged to the 2055 family but didn't have one to compare to. Thanks again!
Chuck, do you know what the part number is for the lever in the valve gear?
Zach, thanks for your reply. The part number I am looking for is for the the three hole lever that attaches to the loco body, has the valve piston rod connected to the second hole, and the eccentric rod connected to the third hole. This is sometime called the combo lever.
