Not sure of the years they were built. Mine was bought new by a friend's father in 1973. I have had problems with the electronic ignition system on mine. This must have been "state of the art" in 1973 but to replace the ignition (spark)module is about $100 and the stator (alternator) which fits under the flywheel is about $200. The rectifier (regulator) for the alternator is another $100. A running unit in good condition would be worth about $400-$500 just for the items listed above. Alternatively, you could be looking at that much or maybe more (with labor) to get a unit running if there is a problem with the ignition system. The overhead valve engine designs are prone to leak oil from the seals around the valve push rod tubes. However, this is a fairly simple fix but does require removing the head and replacing inexpensive O-rings on each end of the tubes. These units weigh about #250. They have lots of power and good heavy transmissions. (Three speeds forward plus reverse. (Hi-Lo range gives 6 speeds and 2 reverse).
