What is it ?

Spike:

I believe it is a 60 with a very unique feature. I would love to see the gearing on the back extending from the bull gears down to the axle. The fact that it appears to have a transmission and the size of the block and the distance between the jugs lead me to believe it is a 60. It should also be a fairly early 60 with that style of flywheel.

It is truly a shame that is rusting into ruin where it sits.

Truly Father Time has not been kind to that old girl. Dumb question, where would the starting bar be placed on that one? Would there be another flywheel with holes on the front of the engine?

Thanks for the photos Spike.

On my early one w/o holes in the flywheel I straddle the drive line and use both hands to pull it through. Luckily mine starts real easy.

Come in at night and air lift it out piece by piece, lol maybe you can TC from Island Hoppers to do it, lol

well if the air lift goes ahead i know a guy that has 6 helicopter's over there he might lend a hand.

Hi, ROME/KG.
I thought the good ole U.S. of A was supposed the land of BIG thinkin'. Why do it by little bits when you can take a Chinook in there and lift the whole lot out in one go? Or, if you REALLY to flash it up, use an MV22 Osprey. They can hover AND outlift a CH47.

Just my 0.02.

is there much that can be saved now other than rust?

Aloha fellow cat fanatics rust fever or yellow fever.Might need intervention / 12 step .If this line of reasoning keeps up .LOL
