50 bucks and 130 miles of driving... ya I think its worth it.


I will probably have PARTS...The two most obvious are already taken (speed control and casters). PM me if interrested and I will see what we can do

I have finally found myself a set of legs ( minus casters) for my 10E. I happen to have "most of" a pretty rough looking set of MkV casters. How hard would it be to adapt them? Also I am minus one of the cams ( split apart while driving roll pin out) how hard are those individual parts to ...

I just finished my 1954 Greenie...took OEM belt off, I had ordered a new one... there wasnt enough difference to replace it... cant argue with 56 years of service.

Just got into the "meat and taters" of tearing down my 10E project. I noted a switch by the peckerhead on the motor ... and by golly, its a reverse switch...
