I went to look at it this morning but decided it was more work to bring it back to life than I wanted to do. Most levers froze, no dash, been sitting 6 years. Felt sorry for the owner, very poor health. Listed on cl but spelled wrong. If anyone else wants a project, do a search on St Louis cl, farm garden "Allice".

Looks rough, but otherwise complete and sitting on what appears to be inflated tires... If the engine turns, a temporary fuel tank, carb rebuild, fresh battery and a couple gallons of hydraulic fluid just might get it out of there on it's own power...

There's probably about $400 in hydraulic cylinder seals required, mebbie $300 in hoses, and about 200 hours of elbow grease to make it a workable machine...
