Finally riding a big boys bike
I picked up this bike a few weeks back. I think it is a JC Higgins. Anyone know the year. Rear facing dropouts. The wheels that are on it are not what it came with. The rear hub is the older aircooled hub. I have to redo the original wheels and rims. The seat was not the one that came with it, I bought the white one yesterday, original had no covering just metal pan. The headset was welded on, it came out usable but not great . I need an original headbadge, top truss plate and headlight. Anyone have these?

It looks like a 1947 Elgin made one. It resembles my 47 Higgins with those skirt guards, but the chainguard is definitely Elgin.
 
Following the Murray codes, bikes sold by Sears have an extra S in the code. So, 'MOS-L" = 1947.
