Yes manual shift. I drained the oil – no water. I then pressure tested the gearcase and she held fine. No seals to replace. I broke off one of the small studs on the starter solenoid in my attempt to clean up all the wires/connections. So once the new solenoid arrives I should be able to turn her over and get a compression reading. If it’s got good compression, I’ll attack the flywheel. I hate these 40’s with their 105 ft/lb torqued flywheels – always a challenge.
