Spot on! "20" is the designation I found stamped into the frame as well as the engine case. Further research of the specific serial number puts this Atlas at 1965. Thanks for the input.
I am resurrecting a very early Atlas. I bought it as a box of parts. The con rod bearings were down to the copper. The oil tank had 1/4 inch of gunk and the screens were mostly blocked. Suggest you check the oil lines etc on both bikes before trying to start, unlike those asses on RUclips. " Will it start after 40 years!" @@ericschulte1853
I believe the engine and frame numbers will start or end with "20" if it's an Atlas.

The guy I bought it from thought is was a later Mercury, thus my confusion in the video.
