These colossal hit or miss engines are impressive to watch run.  Just don't lose a hand in all that moving machinery!

  1. I have several in the 1.5 to 10 HP range.

    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....
