[AT] OT: MH engine: was Re: Stuck clutch JD 60

[Rupert]

Hello charlie,
	I changed the subject line to OT as this is a tractor group.

	I posted a few pictures the way I got the engine at 
<http://users.xplornet.com/~rwenig/My%20engines/massey-Harris/>. the 
breaks on the flywheel appear to be recent so I figure they broke it 
pulling the engine out of the ground. I got the engine for father's day 
from my son-in-law. He says I get the magneto when this part of the 
engine is ready to run. :-) The rest of the missing parts- rocker arm 
etc. are in the hopper.
