i would think it could move the motor...15mph is fast when you hit a stationary
object

I have done absolutely zero work of maintenance on Murray's mechanicals since
the tree kissing. When ever I did start him to move him a few yards while doing
the body work, there was a banging noise that I thought was the tailpipe
banging against the body metal. When Chuck and I were replacing the electronic
points with real points, I noticed that the crank pulley nut was loose. It took
a few turns. I also had to push the cooling tin away from the pulley. When I
started the engine with Chuck looking at the engine we found that the pulley is
way wobbly.
There was no problem before the crash. I say that I was going, maybe, 15 MPH
when I hit the tree, because I can't think that I was going much faster, maybe
I was.
The question is, would a front collision cause the engine to move forward,
maybe 1/4-1/2 inch? How hard would I have to smack to cause the engine to go
forward far enough to bend the pulley?
Let's all make a wish that the crank wasn't damaged. I'll know tomorrow, maybe.
