He's Some Real Steampunk. I bought this today. It's a 1903 cushman hit and miss. I'm accepting offers on all or part.

Or maybe I'll just try and get it running.

Would love to have one but I'll look locally. Shipping from AZ would kill the deal.

If you find one locally let me know. This is a 1903 cushman marine 2 stroke.

I doubt you'll find one, they're rare. Parts might be impossible to get.

final sale price $45.99 after shipping and fee-bay fees I still did really good for 50 cent worth of scrap,I just wish I seen this before I scraped the other bucket of these that I had.

We've all been there. We've all been there. You destroy something only to find out, you could've sold it for more than what you scrapped it for.
