Looking for a Little Engines 1 1/2 Pacific front coupler pocket for a friend. He has had no luck in contacting LE so if anyone has one of these coupler pockets they do not need please contact me.

thanks in advance

Mike V's heavy duty front coupler assembly is excellent.

The person looking for the coupler pocket has tried for a couple months to call Little Engines and has gotten ahold of nobody. He sent at least one letter thru snail mail and nothing. I guess for the present we consider Little Engines as defunct or out of business.
The pilot got fabricated over the past couple weeks using the LE coupler pocket off another engine as a guide and yesterday a nice copy of the LE coupler pocket was fabricated.

Mike has also sent one of his.

That's too bad with LE. Shame.

But can't recommend mike's coupler pocket w/ coupler enough. They are very well made and reasonably priced. If looking for a road pilot, could probably call Godshall and use one from his mikado vs trying to get a LE one.
