125 motor wanted

[Shawn]

Looks like my 72 125 motor has a broken crank and some rust issues
Looking for a motor now....

Where in Canada you located? Oh that's right, you're in the far West area, maybe gooddirt will chime in here and help you out.

LG has piles of 125 motors out in the garage.

[Shawn]

Who is LG?

[Patton]

He'll need to pull out a 125 "d" engine for me in Atlanta.

Shawn and I are both looking for engines.

There are plenty of Sachs engines out there.  I buy very nice ones when they become available and I keep them for my next build.  I have several D engines (one NOS) and other complete engines.  I pay a lot of money for nice engines, but I pass on a lot of them.  I would suggest you let people know how much you are willing to pay and that may bring some out for sale?

Larry Good, GoodDirt on the site, and a very nice guy, posts on the site frequently and has lots of Penton parts and engines as I understand it from others posts. He lives out West I believe, but is not afraid to ship. Look for posts on here from him, Mike

Michael and Ron, thank you.
As every "newbie" will do, we start out with gobs of enthusiasm and when presented with the buy-it-now resources that you guys have, you see them back away.

Don't know about Shawn, but unless a 125 "d" engine (gots to do some more learnin here) dropped in my lap I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Stick with the slow and steady plan, the frame goes out for powdercoating on Friday, engine worries will be handled in due time. Again, looks like the resources are out there. Thanks, all.

Ron at 3949 posts I'm following your lead.
To reciprocate, do you need any help with a '83-'91 BMW 325/e30 or a Dodge/Cummins Turbo Diesel? I've got some knowledge on those two subjects.

Ballpark, how expensive are the engines, core and running?

Now, tell me you are close by to Atlanta GA and you will have made my day.
