Davenport-2015 – 1953 KRM

This “Barnster” was spotted at Davenport 2015. The motor number is 53 KRM 2509, but I'm not sure if anything else on it is original, and many of the parts look like they may have come from a “Dumpster”. The apparently Model 61 generator looks like it may have served time on an Case backhoe. The pipe-thread plug in the timing hole serves as testament to the tender loving care this machine has received.

Nevertheless, it is a 1953 KRM, and that nice vertical WICO mag merits inclusion in our Barnster Gallery.

Is That Really A Pipe Plug ?
