In response to this, if any of you other so called pipey's had even been around, the aluminum face sa 200's were the early one... from 45 to 61. The black face first showed up in 60, to 62, then the red-ies came out in late 62 and ran until 73. the blacks then came back out on the sa 200's, 250's and sae 400 biguns..... then lincoln went to the light aluminum with light grey lincoln color face plates up until 97. all are good machines, but if possible try to stay away from the 81 thru 85 machines... alot of them had copper and aluminum windings in them and they tend to be tempermental, and arent as rebuildable as the full copper models.... I have four of the sa200's and 1 SA 300 classic II diesel... all are good machines. the SA 200's are a '48, a 67, a 72, and a 92... the sa 300 classic is a 90. and as far as leaking oil, all of them do that. if it is burning oil, lap the vavles, you can get all parts from the continental engines web page..... if it is a pre 69 model it will have a continental "L head" F-162, with a FM Magneto... most of these parts can be found at a Massey Fergusson Dealer, as they used the same engines in the MF 35, and MF 77 model tractors. If the model is a post 69 model it will haVE A CONTINENTAL F-163 L SERIES, WHICH IS BASICALL the same, yet it uses a high mount starter , and it uses a breaKERLESS DISTRIBUTOR.... clean the motor and faceplate, get the model #, class #, and serial number and contact B & R welding in NY. they are on ebay... they will have almost evey part for the sa 200's, no matter what year. also check with WELDMART.com in dallas tx. they also have most parts, and a few upgrades.... hope this will help ya out..... Old pipefitters never die... their rods just get shorter and the gaps get wider.... be seein ya Tre'
