I can, Its completely disassembled except for the engine which has been 
redone.  There are 2 bodies, many extra parts, manuals factory pictures and 
sales literature.  I'll send them off list.  I'm close to where I can start 
on it to get a rolling chassis.

I can appreciate your feellings, along with the 2 cylinder tractors, I am
in
the process of restoring a 1921 Stanley, 1953 Packard, and a 1916
Crow-Elkhart.
Too little time and money.....
