I don't really know a lot about it, were they good machines? He says that it is a 1941 or 42, and that it has all of the brass plates saying that it was ordered and sold to the USA for the Army.
I think it runs and drives, and functions correctly. Looks to be in really good shape! I think I could get it for scrap price! Would I be able to get parts for it? What do you think it weighs? What do you think the engine is? I am a little excited, going to look at it some time S O O N!!:) Bryce.
I've got one sitting at the shop now that belongs to a customer. He started going through it, or we started going through it for him, about 7 years ago, before the bottom fell out of everything, and he didn't have the money to complete it.
