I believe the heat sensor on the wood furnace is bad (picture attached). Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? I can’t seem to find one on the internet.

That's something that someone has added on IMO...not original...I have worked on a couple 1600's and they used either an adjustable snap button switch, or a standard Honeywell fan/limit switch.
This for the duct blower control I assume?
 
It is for the blower and it is original. It is the heat sensor that is wired into the circuit board. However, after posting this thread, I discovered that the circuit board was also burnt. I am having a hvac guy just replace the sensor and add a switch for the fan. This will eliminate the circuit board all together. I just need the fan to turn on and off as needed. The furnace is very old and I plan to replace it in the near future.
