[Farmall] Images of Jim Moran's McCormick Deering 10-20, etc.

[ricegrinder at netscape.net]

Well, I think bringing the engine back to life is worthwhile.  I have 
one of these engines and am building an Ice Cream maker for it so I can 
make ice cream for my 6-year old daughter's class at school and her 
sunday school class next spring.  If you don't want to fix it, just 
send it my way...I'll be glad to get it running and store it for you 
for the next 20 years or so  ;-)

Anyway, it looks pretty complete...an issue with the mixer and the 
oiler and perhaps with a bit of freeing up she'll be purring like a 
kitten.

If you decide to fix 'er up, and need help finding parts, let me know.  
I've got some sources. Thanks.

-Jim

  Thank you...can it be brought back to life and/or is
doing so worthwhile?
