Excellent! Good luck with the rest of the work too.
I will be trying to get my 57 running in a few weeks. I hope mine cranks as good as yours did.I have no idea how many years it has been since it ran, or if it will run at all.I think mine was put out to pasture because the rear axle gears are shot, so I am in hopes the motor & transmission are workable. (I just bought it so I have no history on it.)

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
