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

[Rupert]

Hello Charlie,
	I haven't looked around for a flywheel yet. I'll cast one if I have to 
but I will have to build a larger furnace first.
	The IHC Famous I have is in worse condition 
<http://users.xplornet.com/~rwenig/My%20engines/IHC%20Famous/Famous.jpg> 
Note the top of the hopper and the flywheel. Crank is bent too. Having 
trouble getting the head off and the piston is seized.
	Both will run again if I have enough time left.
