Thank you for your heart warming welcome. I am humbled by the people who have rebuilt the 658, the veterans, and especially those who helped the 305 restoration.
We still have a daunting task ahead of us. bob

The ELCO Parts Catalog is very helpful in filling the gaps of our Higgins tech data. Thank you Dick Washichek!
