New to me.
Picked this Fairbanks-Morse ZC52s up this summer for $100.00 got some parts missing but good starter.
Re: New to me.
Amazing. At this point in time I'd expect it would be hard to find them.
Nice find!

Nice find!
Hopefully, parts are not too hard to find for it.
A guy could never have too many old engines
