I originally only meant to buy the halfbreed, but.....the 6hp Waterloo Boy just kept talking to me so I give it a home too.Both engines are in good shape, just need a little tinkering, I should have the Oilcity Southpenn halfbreed running in about 2-3 hours, the Waterloo Boy needs shouldn't take much to get going at all, all I need now is....."time".....
Looks like some deluxe additions to the flock Jim. You know we're gonna want to see some pictures of your progress don't you....Wish I had your retrieval rigs...crane and lowboy. Awesome.
Wow, how did I miss this.
That's a BIG project, maybe not long and tedious, just Big, lots of riggin' help needed.
So have you had any "time" on them :?:
Hope all is well down in your neck of the woods. I have just recently got the new / other flywheels for the bigger engine....(halfbreed), but the smaller engine (black) I have got it fixed and it runs like a top, it is a pleasure to just set around and listen to it run. I don't have any "youtube" knowledge as far as trying to load videos or I would try and post videos of it running.

Folks,
I have posted about making syrup before. Just had to flap my fingers on this topic since I am snowed in and not making syrup right now in NW PA.
But here are some pictures to ponder.

Doing a house demo we came across what I think is a railroad jack, it's a Rees model 21A made in Pittsburgh USA by ICP Co. In great working condition was being used as a floor jack. Anyone know what there worth or does it become another antique tool in my garage?
I have a early 1900's Fairbanks Morse Hit & Miss engine
2hp. There is a small tank for gas to start it. A larger tank for diesel fuel.
I was wondering if I can run gas in the diesel fuel tank to run on or would that make it to hot? there are 2 large adjustment knobs on each side for the fuel...
