bulldogger, thanks for that link, it answers alot of my questions, never heard of shibaura engines before,

JC, it looks just like your avatar pic, just no where near as clean, gonna check the hours today, maybe it got a bunch more than my guess, it has been sitting outside since the guy got a new machine to pull his harley rake a couple of years ago, with those huge rear tires and some chains and all the ranges it looks like it would be a log pulling bear.
thanks for the help I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy it maybe today if I can start it, I'll take the rake and clean it up and try and sell it, not looking to make money on it but if I get the rake for free it will be worth a little of my time cleaning it up.
