Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeBack in the sixties when i was a 12 yr old i bought a 48 Allis B with a stuck engine for $100.I tore it all apart and put it back together re-using everything incl the headgasket.

I never spend a buck( like i had any :roll:) but on new oil and a filter. it ran on our farm for some years and then it sat again till i sold it for $100 to another kid that was interested in it.

I never lost or made a buck on it but it was a great learning experience and set me on the road to self reliance in maintaining and repairing my own equipment up till today.

To the OP, $400 is to much to potentially waste on an old hunk of iron that may never run again without putting the dollars in.

I would tel the boy the ins and outs on restoring and costs but let him make up his own mind.

I would not front any money either,..it is bound to backfire.
