I can turn it over by hand with the crank that goes through the grill. I did a lot of emptying and soaking so far but haven't got to physically starting it. It did have oil in both the pan and the breather that I drained and soaked it briefly in diesel fuel. (Heard that somewhere) I have to...

A couple more shots including one on the "Tow" home. No shipping costs!
