It is the one from the St. Louis CL. It was a good find.
Yeah, I've seen them with that many hours in golf course equipment several times, still running. I want to build a good plow tractor, and just don't want to ever have to worry about taking the motor back out. If it had been my motor in another machine and I knew the history and had heard it run, I wouldn't be so apprehensive. But not knowing anything about it, I hate to get it all in, painted up and ready, just to stick a plow in the ground and it run hot or not have any power. Or worse yet, BURN OIL!
I'm going to call my engine supplier on Monday and price a kit. It'll probably just get a fresh rebuild before the build is completed.
