Greetings All,

My ID plate:

F10K7L13286
118 T 30 H A 01
05000 145 4100

History:

I bought it in March 2017, from the Denver Center for the Perfoming Arts - Theater Company, for $300.00 dollars. I work there as a stagehand. They bought it as a prop two or three years earlier for a show called Sweet and Lucky and never tried to get it running. It was not running when I got it, so I thought I couldn’t make it not run any more. It was the perfect first project. It now starts and idles. I am in the process of putting power disc brakes on it now. Next is the clutch hydraulics.

Thank you,

Matt Wagner
