Well I had a look at it yesterday. The data plate was pretty much missing everything except 196(8?) scribbled into the "MFG. Serial No." spot. It had some numbers printed on the plate, not in the bare metal writing areas though. As well, the plate said Reo on it instead of Kaiser, so I'm a little confused there. Anyhow, it would crank, but the fella couldn't get it to start, so I might head back down with some filters to be sure that's the only issue. The tank looked kinda nasty. Surface rust, straight body, just eaten through on the passenger 'rocker panel' from what I could tell and maybe cut a bit on the inner fender for the exhaust. Cracked glass. If it runs, I'll seriously consider bringing it home, working out a route to avoid the interstate.
Anyhow, I haphazardly snagged some pics of the engine, and it looks like a turbo multifuel from what I can tell, but diesel is not my area. I don't really have an area, come to think of it. Photos inbound. Just give me your thoughts and advise on if you'd purchase it. It'll either be this or a motorcycle. Pros and cons all around.
