What to look at on a 10-20?

I'm going to look at a McCormick Deering 10-20 and was wondering what the typical wear points or missing items are.

Thanks

I have two, but only a little experience on them. Stuck when they arrived, but run now. So here is my experience...

Missing / problem parts: carbs, mags, manifolds, & fuel tanks (particularly starter tanks)

Worn out: steering, brake bands & radiators. If it sat outside - valves & seats.

I was able to get my two running with a single parts carb & magneto. Still lots of leaks (radiator, manifold & manifold gasket). Exhaust valves are ground to a knife edge.

In other words... Very durable, but generally worn out. Yet so tolerant such that they can be made to run even worn out. Very, very cool machines.
