You have to wonder how some people can tear up things the way they do. The PO of the 1872 I am rebuilding gave me a notebook with all of the receipts from repairs done to it over the course of five years he owned it. He had the M18 engine rebuilt twice once with a new crank, rods, jugs and pistons, replaced the rear end once and had the one that was in it welded where he tore off the front mounts, destroyed the drive shaft and hyd lines and bought new. I have to hand it to you not many would be outside pressure washing in February. I hope you do not find to many more surprises with this one. Good luck.
