Yes the dealership is still in business, my local dealer. No rising tractor count behind my name:ROTF:

Now Tom you are just trying to git my goat.....sides your whole family ain't got enough fingers & toes to count all the tractors you got! :ychain:Is a nice score and dibs if it doesn't grow on ya. I could spot that classic two spoke from a mile away.! Dash like that @Vinylguy could put you out of  business. Please tell us you took the cigar lighter out for safe keeping?  Would look nice parked next to a 857! :greetings-clappingyellow:

Yes he is and doing a damned fine job of it and yes they are Jeff ... They are just a few blocks down the street from Tom's place and I stopped in ther once when visiting. Nice folks and had some nice gently used 520's but definitely dealers prices. Even the rusted stuff outside was a little high.

Nice find Tom. Hard to find these 6 speeds. A good cleaning and should be a great worker. Enjoy it.

Nice! I love the Manke’s dealer decal on it . You should load it up and go show Harley Manke  he will probably remember who he sold it to when it was new!!

Agreed Pete, no PO cobblements on that one. The sheet  metal is immaculate and the front end is perfect. A horse like that might tell out how things actually were when they left the factory. 

Tell you what Tom you bring that one to Portage for us to drool on and I won't forget your motor!  Any thoughts on preserving it?

Any clue how many PO's it might have went thru?

Nope, I heard it came out of a storage locker auction in the Twin Cities.

Gonna try and clean it up and see if I can buff it out and put a fresh coat of wax on it.

Yep I"ll bet he probably could, might have to show him some pics someday. I kinda like the Mankes decal on the back, pretty cool from a local dealer.
