Well, it might have run when parked, then taken apart. Looks like a propane tank mount. Are you going to take it home, Michael? |

it was near where I delivered a load of fertilizer today, no one near to ask who is the owner,, I may look into finding out more when I gots some time to look around and ask some questions... John, I think you are right,,looks to have been converted to propane sometime in its life...I know in the 50's propane/butane was really popular around this area because of the low cost..

That looks like a homerun to me Mike. I think you should do some quick inquiring and bring that puppy home man! If that thing ran on Propane, the engine is probably pretty clean inside of that thing.

| +1 on that clean engine Steve. I'd find out who owned that puppy and if I was lucky enough to buy it there'd be a rollback winching her on within 24 hrz. Good find guy. |

I pulled the oil stick,,sorry to say,it was rusty,so,the crankcase has had water in it,also no cover on the exhaust so I'm sure the engine will need lotsa work.... Yea, yea, I know it can be fixed.... |
