So My father in-law and I got lucky today. Found this gem in a family barn and it hasn't been touched in who knows how long. its a free find for us and we don't have any other attachments for it as of yet. Hasn't been started and i am going to do a lot of inspection, Cleaning and needed maintenance before turning her over. The spark plug doesn't look that old. maybe 15 years. It has compression but haven't checked how much yet. I know it has to be from the mid 50's from what im finding on a quick search. I have not had time to do anything with this yet. good news it the piston is free and the gas tank looks pretty clean.
so my question is...(you probably know whats coming)
Is there any other place besides Ebay to find parts if I need them? ( obviously all of this is subjectively needed)
air filter
carb parts
bearings
clutch
pistons/rings
yada yada pretty much everything.
do a lot of you guys use the gasket material you cut yourself or high temp silicone sealant to replace the leaking OEM ones or is there a place to get kits?
any info anyone could pass along to help with the rebirth of this thing would be GREAT?
Thank you for the help/suggestions. We are so excited and feel blessed to have this thing and am looking forward to keeping it running and feeding our family as long as possible.
