Thanks for the reply Nathan, and Paul as well. I haven't even dug all of it out of the pallet box yet. It's been sitting outside for quite a while, so I was surprised that it's in as good of shape as it seems to be. And yes, it DOES appear to be electric-start, or at least there's a starter in the box with it and a ring-gear on the flywheel, so that seems to be a definite bonus. I'm with you - they're pretty neat little units. It is an L-head engine. I'm a Deere technician by trade, so I'm not too scared of it when it comes to working on it, as long as I can get some sort of literature. I don't plan to do a full-blown/back-to-factory-specs overhaul on it. Hopefully just a good honing and rings and possibly replace the bearings and grind the valves. As long as it runs halfway decent and doesn't burn excessive amounts of oil or smoke like a freight train I'll be happy. It should have plenty of power for a homemade tractor or go-kart at least. I'll dig further and see if I can find a ID plate on it somewhere. If I find something, I'll post back. Thanks.
