The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

These colossal hit or miss engines are impressive to watch run. Just don't lose a hand in all that moving machinery!
OSHA wasn't around then. You can EASILY catch a sleeve (or a finger) in the gears. or have the crank whack your hand. What with the weight of the flywheels, they will eat a finger and barely notice.
If yer interested, I have several that are unrestored, but restorable for a person with a bit of skill....
I have several in the 1.5 to 10 HP range.
