[SEL] 8 HP WITTE I Owned

[Dave Rotigel]

Hi Craig,
    I'll bring the crank guard (really a cover) to Coolspring with me and
hand it off to you. Thanks for getting it to the owner. Has he shown the
engine? His big worry was that perhaps he could not start an engine so big.
I guess that everything in the engine world is relative!
    Dave
