Let hope there are some new photo's of the engine... not the stock ones used in the TM10 and 801 series.

I was going to bid on that, but figured I'd only be bidding you up! Congrats!

E-bay doesn't forbid colluding, but there are people out there that would bid it up just to make me pay more. Yes, I am that paranoid

TM showed up today!

Damn that thing is so ugly its pretty!

I am offering a kidney for a restored AFKWX-353.

For a mere $9,100 you could have had your very own restored one:

It sold for only $9,000 USD

I wasn't impressed by the quality of the restoration on most of those vehicles. My kidney should get top quality stuff.

Read the TM twice. Not only is there NOT a picture of the air cleaner decal, there isn't even a photo of the AIR CLEANER ITSELF! All the engine shots show the air cleaner removed, and none of the ducting. Only the cast iron carb intake.

Well, there is ONE small 1cm x 1cm photo of what looks like an air cleaner... its superimposed over the standard lubrication photo.. the one that shows the air cleaner being filled with oil and the lid off the to the side.

I must have angered the CCKW gods
