Brian, hello:
Do you have an MZ as well. I got one last year... it needs a full rebuild
and the engine is stuck. But the radio is gone the carb. snorkel is gone.
the rear gen is gone However, I do have the correct Gen PTO.
I believe too, that there are only a very few of these in existence?
Sincerely Rob Pearson
