Hey team,
I have a 52 basket motor with a ton of spares, most everything is there that I can tell. As I debate the machine work needed to get this thing together, I’m curious about the small parts like bushings in the case and the bearings and such. Are these small internal (yet integral) parts of the motor available? Or are they interchangeable with the early XLs? Anything I should avoid or keep an eye out for? I do remember my first 1953 had issues with the kicker gear engagement because the kicker gear was thicker than it was supposed to be.
Any help would be very cool. Thanks everyone.
