My wife came home with this beauty the other day. She was dumping off a bunch of scrap metal at our local junkyard and they had this in the "mixed metal" pile. She got it for about 20? a pound, and they even put it in her car for her! It's a 1958 Scott Atwater 7.5hp. Complete, turns over with compression in both cylinders, and the gear shift works. Haven't checked for spark yet. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, - I certainly don't need more projects right now. But, at least it won't be melted down anytime soon...

Thats like my wife spotting a TD15 in a plastic bag on the bottom of a grocery cart as we drove by in the car.
