so I just bought this 53 r120 it has , I believe, a SD220 tilt valve engine in it. the couple I got it from got it from her sister when she passed. anyway, he told me he could get it running sometimes. of course not when I went to see it. anyway price was good so I brought it home. we just moved to washington just north of spokane so I haven't had much time to fiddle with it until last night. it wouldn't start, of course. while tinkering around with it, I grabbed the distributer and it moved, like side to side a little. the bolt holding it down was tight. I removed it and it appears to be missing parts. the hold down/advance looks different than the one on my old L110 and the one in the MT97 parts book. It also has a different number on the distributer than the one in the book. what do you think? number on distributer is 1112416 and in MT97 it's 1112355
I have ordered some parts for it like valve cover gasket so I can make sure their adjusted proper, carb kit, wires as they are miss matched, new belt and a fuel pump rebuild kit as there is a electric pump on it now.
at some point i would like to put it to 5 lug and get rid of the 3/4 ton stuff.
