Ok folks!

I got home today and built a quick motor stand for her.

She’s officially mounted and ready for work.

model number is RDE 19

serial number is 628463

Does this officially make it a 1957?

I hope so, as I have a line on controls for 1957.

For the dirty: I popped the hood open and found a mouse nest the size of a basket ball, and I have been shop vacuuming it up. Surprisingly – everything looks to be in very decent shape. It has the set up for electric start too! All the wires and hoses look to be intact as well. I just need to find a way to safely clean away the mouse turds and remnants without harming the motor.
