Buddy of mine is interested in a 53 Super MD.This is what I know about it,Enigne is froze,manifold is busted and head looks rusted inside,front tires are shot,rears are so-so,has the dist. pump with two way valve,pto spins freely,while pulling it around it went into all gears fine,Clutch released as it should while pulling,rad was full of antifreeze and oil was in the pan,but no signs of water,but we didnt drain it much,tranny was at level and no water came out,brakes worked fine,the change over lever wouldnt move,fuel tank was only slightly rusty and the cap was gone and the hole covered with a Pepsi can,headlights were missing,all the charging system was there as was the starting carb and distributor and the plugs were in place,sheetmetal was there and in tact and really good condition except for some rust pitting and the hole for the muffler was tore up some,no visible oil or water leaks,battery box was rusted out but held him up on the seat,and the steering wheel is shot.Questions are:What would you pay for it and are engine kits and head parts still available,and on average waht would it cost to rebuild it,at least those who have done it,and is there any major things I need to have him check out while rebuilding the engine?he may not get it,but if he does would like to have some input on it.
