The seller, who trades under the ID mysnugglebear, has property absolutely saturated with car parts. The house is surrounded as well as adjacent properties (please note the Rambler as an example). He drives truck at night, he and his wife sell by day. The Ruckstell was sitting in the dirt under the tree shown above.
Outside, in the dirt, not a good sign. It was also buried under a workbench and parts.
Got it retrieved and took a look. It spun, the ring gear looked good, so hoped for the best and struck a deal. He was very hospitable as well to my family during this time which we greatly appreciated. I also believe he appreciated earning Y before eating breakfast....
