When he was younger he put more miles on it every year but he started getting sick in the late 80's and moved in with his daughter in 1994 and yes it did sit in the yard until about 2004 and then it was moved into the barn.

I runs and drives well. Once I got it running I drove it on back roads for about 10 miles and it runs really good. It has plenty of torque. It shifts well, the clutch is good, brakes are good, it rides well and it easily goes into low/ high gear and 4 wheel/2 wheel drive. I was surprised at how...
It was purchased brand new by my 83 year old cousin's father who was born in 1907. He was 63 years old when he bought it. He just drove it on his farm and to town, that is why the mileage is so low. My cousin inherited it and never drove it.
I have the original weber. It just needs rebuilding. I was trying to get it running for my cousin and he ordered that carb. If you see anything else that's not factory let me know, thanks.

Thanks for your input!
