Good Morning Freinds,
I have just bought what looks like a Typical TRactor motor but the serial
number stamped next to the coil mount bracket is V669ME. What the heck is
that? Was it from a Vangaurd or something? The SU carb set up looks just
like my 59 TR3A. Anything else I should check to provide more clues?
The gearbox has the number CT50815 stamped on the back of the clutch shaft
boss.
These came out of a TR3 chassis that had a Carabee (spelling?) kit car body
on it. The car was in Warren Illinois. Perhaps someone on the list knows
its' story? I just bought the motor and trans. for my 3A that needs a major
engine rebuild so I can get it on the road this summer. It was supposedly
running good just two months ago when pulled out of the kit car. I also got
the rear axle assembly (which I don't need) thrown in.
Any light anyone can shed on the origin of the motor and gearbox would be
appreciated.
Cheers,
Curt
