blindscience 17 #1 Posted July 18, 2019 I know the paint job is a desecration. By chance I was able to acquire this. Any thoughts? Year, rarity, value? Original tires....? 11 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,164 #8 Posted July 18, 2019 it's a double pulley/belt for the starter. the 701 has many features that are specific only to that model. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
