Dragged this home on Wednesday. Had been sitting for many years, and I had no illusions about it ever running. For $300, it is a cool piece of yard art.
Drained the crankcase - no water, just oil. Motor turns over freely, has spark, not much compression, but I'll bet it will run. Carb missing, so have to find one.
Transmission is another case. Was full of water. No oil at all. Shift lever is positioned in reverse and won't budge. Nothing moves. Had to drag it off the trailer. I removed the shift lever, and from what I can see the shifter rails are rusted. Couldn't move them either. Filled the tranny and diff with oil, but don't have hopes it will help.
Any suggestions on where to go next? I got the clutch freed up and am trying to locate a used carb. Apparently the 1-1/16" bore carbs with 2-1/4" bolt spacing are hard to locate.
Your help is always appreciated.
