Hit-n-miss engines, anyone?
Anyone into the old flywheel, hit-n-miss, or steam or early gas tractors on here?
I'll start: I go to the shows every year near me, and even own a 1-1/2 HP IHC M that I've been re-united with for the first time in 10 years today. Anyone else?

Re: Hit-n-miss engines, anyone?
My boss has a couple sitting in the showroom and just bought two more, Here's a couple pics I have on hand but don't remember the year/specs on them.
Logger's saw; This one isn't a true hit-n-miss but old none the less; He's got a couple old Gravely D-model tractors as well; He also has a bunch of old two man gas chain saws that were built back when REAL MEN were made ! Here's a LINK he sent me last week, I kept waiting for parts to go fly'n off the first one, pretty dang scary look'n. Will get pics of the other two tomorrow and more info.....

Re: Hit-n-miss engines, anyone?
An old farmer friend i know still has his grandfathers (sharpless?) hit and miss engines. He cranks them all 2 or 3 times a year. He knows where each one was and what they powered on the farm! They are big and weigh a ton or two and are about 1 1/2 horsepower! Neato!

Re: Hit-n-miss engines, anyone?
I just acquired an old hit & miss that used to belong to my wife's grandfather who just passed away. She's very sentimental about it.
I'm waiting on a really good idea before I start the renovation. The ice cream churner isn't bad, but it feels overdone. I was hoping for a different idea. I don't truly need anything useful, so an idea similar to an ice cream churner sounds good, something more of a novelty. Any ideas? |
