Baggsy is right. Definately worth the time. I myself wouldn't mind having one or two with bad mags.

Definately worth rebuilding! Massey's are very desireable and worth quite a bit now. I've never had one but have see some at shows, photos, etc...and they are sweet engines. Not sure what kind of mag they run off of, but all of them can be fixed. Write back with more detailed problems and we'll get it running...

I would say that the majority of old engines are very simple to mechanic. Timing marks are marked on many of them, but manuals are generally available for those without. Many magneto specialists still exist and can get spark out of a hay bale. Very basic in operation, and while parts may be worn or rusted, a good machinist can usually make another at a reasonable cost. All these old engines were made prior to OSHA, and there is no electronic anything on them. Very simple to work on, but can be exasperating getting everything just right. That is part of the alure. But there's something special when everything is right and one fires up for the first time in years and runs like it did on the farm 80 years ago...
