G'day gml,

Have you bought this!?!?

If it says electric then I guess it is factory? I've got photos of a HD10 that was on Gumbay a while back and I can just make out the cut out. The photos don't show the RH side of the machine but its visible through the grille.

That lever's a bit bent too smile

When the daughter returns I'll put the photos up.

Cheers,

Wow! That does look like a factory installation, to me.

If you can get another look at this one, see if you can get a pic of the full 'magic numbers' of the engine - they'll be on the top cowl, near the spark plug. 1974 would have been just before the 'Tractor x' series came out...


Cheers,
Gadge
