i will ask for you, after taking the pics i did think you might not want it as i thought it too far gone ......... there is a rear axle there as well regards
-
finally got there and took these pics
-
have had another look at the front end today, there is a mag/distributor on it, the inlet manifold is broken off, so no carb, but it might be in/on the ground as the front end was upside down before it was righted recently, the radiator is there along with the rear axle. the condition is slightly worse than the one you are trying to restore ! i will be back on sunday morning with a camra and will post the pics on here :-D regards

question Hotchkiss mis firing,erratic running.
HotBed replied to slick50's topic in American Vehicles
although mine had been running for some years like this with the previous owner, when i stripped it out i found the bores in good fettal and they only needed a honing, 6 yrs ago when i did this the parts (pistons, rings, little ends, big ends, mains and full engine gasket set) came to £100 from jeep parts, there was nothing wrong with the bearings, i just changed them as i had it apart good luck -
question Hotchkiss mis firing,erratic running.
HotBed replied to slick50's topic in American Vehicles
the problem i had when i first brought mine was that it was running rough, i took the engine oil filler cap off whilst it was running to see a plume of smoke coming out like a steam engine :cry:...............every piston had broken rings, hopefully yours won`t be the same regards -
that reminds me, i must phone peter for you regards
