[SEL] Desjardins far from home

[jbcast at charter.net]

I found a Desjardins this weekend, a rather large engine, guessing 8 to 10hp. The head has been welded, the flyball governor was in pieces, and the rocker arm was fabricated. I can get this engine for a resonable price, a little above scrap value, just wondereing about the availability of parts. I'll probably get it and put it under the shed as a future project, can anyone here tell me more about them?
