What is it #1
We came across this little engine at Portland, IN swapmeet this summer (2001).
|
It does have a round piston, just the water jacket is square. It`s missing quite a bit of stuff. Someone over the years has made a new connecting rod for it. They also used an aluminum lawnmower piston, gears & valves for parts on it. There`s a cast gas tank in the base & it looks like something mounted to the side of the cylinder that`s missing. (picture to the right)
We also need to know what the cast crank guard & governor weights looked like. |

What is it #3

EEC?
Some said this engine originally came from Australlia but it could be English. (All the greasers read "Made in England.") It`s got a very long thrown on the crankshaft & runs great. It currently has a Ford carburator on it & a homemade governor. Any clues to what should be one it would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Thanks from the info on "HARRY`S" Old Engine Homepage, we found out this was made by "The British Engineers & Electrical Co. Ltd." Leek, Staffordshire.
(Or refered to as a "Leek" gas engine)

DENNIS?? engine
This small one was bought in Bucyrus, Ohio & the only information we have on it is the name "DENNIS" wrote in raised letters on the otherside. It has a fancy connecting rod & outter brass water jacket. The original head, carb, & governor were missing so it was replaced with what`s shown in the picture. This engine probably had a side valve chamber for the exhaust at one time. (the original pushrod was very short) Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. |

Garland...
The man this engine was purchased from said it was a Garland made in Honey Cott?, New York. It`s fairly early with flat valves & a belted governor, but no name tag to verify anything. |
No Name 2-Stroke
It`s a hit & miss 2-stroke and has no name or numbers anywhere on it. |

Air-Compressor & ??
The one on the left is a osillating cylinder air compressor. Its using both sides of the piston to pump and it looks like it had a nameplate robbed off of it at one time. (not very long ago since there`s an outline of the nameplate in the paintjob)
The thing on the right is a fancy cast pedistal with a hand crank pulley for something?
UPDATE: Thanks again from the info on "HARRY`S" Old Engine Homepage, we found out this was made by "Johnson Service Company" Milwaukee, U.S.A.

Unknown Beam Engine
This steam engine is very well made with lots of Gibb-head bearings. It`s got lots of detail with Gothic-like designs everywhere & even a exhaust condenser & pump built into it. The boiler, fittings & plumping are all string wound sealed which shows its got a little age on it. The whole unit takes a couple people to move. |

Hyden, Geere & Company
The only markings on this piece is on the boiler saftey release poppit valve weight & reads;
Hayden, Geere & Company, New York.
**Any info on this company out there?? |
Pump Engine
We found this one in NY eariler this summer (04) & it had a nameplate on it at one time but.... (the mounting screws are still in their holes.) It`s a 3 port, 2-cycle engine connected to a pump & the only thing I found on it was a piece of paper stuck under the base that said "BERRIE". Is this a Berrie engine? *Click for a picture of the other side. UPDATE: This is a Barber Bros. engine, made in Syracuse, New York. They made some marine engines & some water pumps...they also must have made some marines & water pumps units. |

Unknown Marine engine
We just picked this one up today (11/5/04). It`s Heavey & we forgot to bring the ramps so Dad & I dead lifted it into the truck. It came from a friends barn & hasn`t seen daylight for almost 40 years. It`s missing a lot of parts & the only name I found on it was "KERBEL". This was stamped sideways on a piece that might not be original to the engine, not real sure. This picture was taken after it was oiled & unstuck. Something neat about it is it originally had a squard intake by-pass valve chamber that mounted up near the top of the cylinder. (Something like a Sintz engine) This was taken off years ago & the engine was modified with regular 2-stroke ports. *Picture of it straight from the barn. *Cleaned up, other side. |
