Hi All,
Looking for some feedback on the differences between these motors? Obviously the year, and I know the "L" is a 20" leg versus a 15". I have found a decent used 55EL78 and was hoping to use some components to fix up my current 55E79. I do like the short leg as I have a jet leg conversion. Can legs be interchangeable? Thanks for any info or feedback on any other components that may not be the same.
