    Small taper flywheel

    From what I’ve researched it should be a 1958 model.  However, I have discovered that 1958 motors should have a large taper flywheel with a Kiekhaefer Magneto.  Also read that they often substituted parts from different years when necessary.  It was converted to tiller steer at some point.  Previous owner had no idea of its history.  It was in a barn on property he purchased.
