AIRCAPITOL MANUFACTURERS INC WICHITA KANSAS
AIR CAP SIT-N-CUT
MODEL AM-55
CLINTON ENGINE
ORIGINAL SEAT (as far as I know)
year unknown -- but afterWWII companies that made war products had to make other things SO 1946-1955 (MODEL AM 55 ??? )
HERE IS THE STORY --- I bought this over 30 years ago (at an old estate sale from the original owner I was told )and it was my first restoration. I painted it in as close to original colors as I could. I kept the original painted decal and just touched it up .The engine was totally rebuilt with new piston ,rings and bearings. I drove it at a couple of tractor shows for the first 2 years. Then it got forgotten in back of the barn and has not been run in the last 25 years ---ENGINE IS FREE AND TURNS OVER EASILY --
I have some new part to go with it -- gaskets carb parts --NOSSAF-T-VUE air filter ($45.00) and some new chain
I am sure it would run with just a good carb cleaning and chains replaced.
LOOK AT HOW THE BLADE IS MADE ---a sickle section riveted to piece of steel --all original
There is no transmission --it only goes forward -belt and jackshaft drive
YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER LIKE THIS -- I HAVE SEEN 2 IN 25 YEARS
