This is the forged counterweighted crankshaft sometimes referred to as a "C" crank. It is not rusted and has never been reground. The rod and main journals are within .002" of new specs.

Dave, Thanks for your reply. I'm not to post a picture but this one is a "Bauer Tilt Wheel". It's in good working and restorable condition...the aluminum spokes could be polished and the wood is "dirty"....probably from daily use with dirty hands.

Can you help me with the market value of a fatman steering wheel? It is an estate find....probably on a shelf for 50 years....it is in good condition but has not been cleaned since it came off a car. Thanks.
