New Engine

[Mike N]

After a 3 yr. break from my hobby (to build a new house) I finally got back at it.
This is a 1/2 scale 1 -1/2hp. John Deere model "E"

Beautiful engine! I can’t get the video to run on my iPad, and that’s a pity, 'cuz I’d love to hear it run.

I just love the way it farts just before firing

The buzzbox joinery is beautiful and the way you've set up the timing light and ignition switch is also very neat.

Farmer Brown would be very proud of your work on his castings!

Thanks, I wish I could find another set of casting's! I think I got the last set from LeRoy.

The patterns have gone through a few different owners. I have the patterns in my possession and cast them for a customer who builds finished running engines only. I have casting kits and plans for sale on a very limited basis. $1350 plus shipping, includes machined crank and gears.

That is so nice, I don't know if it inspires me or makes me want to give up on the junk that I build.

No it does inspire me, each one I build get a little better and has a few more finishing touches. one day I hope to post an engine like this.

I have a friend that wants to know if the casting kits are still available?
