[AT] MF 1135 (MF 150 engine)

[Cecil Bearden]

That is just a continental gasoline engine.  I cannot remember what 
model was used in the 50 and 150, but it would not be a reall difficult 
one to find.  However, I have repaired several blocks with Devcon and 
even JB weld...  JB weld needs to be applied in layers and horizontally..
