Re: Mercury Flathead on Craigs list MN
Doesn't look horribly stuck to me. The bottom end being so oily makes me think the pan was recently pulled to verify and photograph the bottom end and the fact it has a merc crank. I have had 4 merc cranks and read many books/articles describing how to tell a merc crank from a ford. I have never seen or heard of one stamped as such. That's too easy. I continue to learn.
