[AT] Jager Engine, Now fairbanks Z

[Terry Welch]

Here is one for the SEL guys here. I was offered a Fairbanks Headless Z. It is
complete the owner just wants the cart for another Headless Z he has. He wants
me to make a offer on it. It does not run but has had new rings put into it. The
mag and ignitor has been rebuilt as well as the mixer. Any ideas?? Looks in good
shape other wise.
Thanks
Terry Welch
