Thank you.

Very nice looking machine you have there. The guys are on to something in that if it is the CORRECT replacement engine, then technically it has the correct engine. I understand if you are trying to set it back up as close to factory as possible. This is a model I have only seen brought up once or twice on the forum, I would love to own one. So tell us about your plans, find an original engine and leave the machine as found or are you planning a full restoration? These small IH built machines sometimes get lost in that folks don't know whether to post them under IH section or the small lawn mowers. Maybe Roland would care to guide us as to where these should go. Of course those little white fiberglass wahshtubs were IH machines too.
