thanks for clearing that up Gearhead!
I don't know the mileage, but the rebuild tag was from WA and the car came from AZ. I heard it run and it seemed fine... 3 years ago. The main seal is out since I seperated the trans and the motor is up on a stand. I might as well do that now while it's all accessible
anything else? It's tapped for an oil filter, so I'm going to run the lines to a remote, modern filter, or will it really matter one way or the other if i use modern or old original style tractor filters?
