I hooked up some new fuel line and filter then ran it to a gas can. I got it to run. It sounds decent and didn't smoke much.

Next is to wire in the ignition switch, get a battery, tie down the fuel can, bleed the brakes, and take it for a spin
 
Wired up an ignition switch and ran the motor alittle longer last night. It ran fine then suddenly died like I turned the switch off. Then it would not fire back up. I think the switch or the coil went bad. Gotta check tonite.
 
Nice find Jack! Always fun chasing leads then finding a jackpot.
 
Sounds like points stuck.
 
Took off the Ramsey PTO and removed all the nasty, bubbling, and faded window tint. Looks alot better.

Ground off more ugly stuff. I plan to repair the frame and make a quickie bumper.

Some of those pieces are factory, you probably know that. Just thought I would mention. Fun project. I like some of those 4plus bumpers. You could do something like that .
 
1 out of 4 of those factory parts is still good. The rest suffered from hacking and bad welding. Personally I think those parts make the bumper stick out too far. I have an extra set that could go with this wagon though.
I got the frame all patched up.

Made a quickie temporary front bumper that bolts into some stock holes. Then added a tow hook.

That works! ;). Did you ever figure out the motor? Does it not stay running? Theories?
 
Never really figured out the motor. It kind of fires but won't run, I think it's got a timing issue. It needs to be TDCed and then check everything. I am done playing with it and have listed it for sale over on Ebay.
 
Buyer get cold feet or what?
 
Wow...... eBay. Sorry to here that.
