Thanks for all the input everyone.

The engine has a rebuilt tag on it, apparently this company was bought out soon after they rebuilt this engine. Anyone else have a Nutt rebuild??

Is this the tillotson model X carb? First job is gas tank flush, clean the sediment bowl, and rebuild the carb.

I will be starting to purchase parts for my new 29 CC Pickup. Who are your preferred vendors?? Has anyone used Bert’s Model A located in Colorado? I’ll be starting with the basics, carb kit, gaskets and seals, some wiring, etc…

Is there an A club in our area?? NE WI or the UP?

Well the deal was made and it’s in my possession. It was a little rougher shape than I was hoping , and the seller agreed, so the price dropped a couple grand. The body is solid, looks like the bottom of one door may have a little bondo and one small rust hole below driver door, both minor...

Looks like next Monday will be the day to take a ride and check it out. My biggest concern would be engine health. I'd like to do a compression check, what is a good range of psi on this type of engine? Having to replace some wiring or hoses is of no real concern for me, and the body is in...

Chris, those both look really cool! Brad

Im 5'7" so that shouldnt be a problem. I was told the engine is not stuck, but has not tried to start it the last 3 years. Not sure if i should try to start or just make sure it turns over. The owner is a trusted friend so i dont question his info when last ran. I plan to verify the gas tank...
