I love those old engines, and all the history and documentation on them is awesome. It looks like they have done a mountain of work with them.

@Collector love them too..you just dont see those type of engines everyday and in working order....the history for region you could spend months if not years learning about it, just purely intriguing learning about it....

For sure, I have only saw one of those large motors.It was In an old flour mill and not in working order, still a wonder to see though. There are a lot of the old hit and miss motors around still, I had one several years ago but it went into a barter lol. I know where I might be able to get my hands on another one though lol. It's a sickness what can I say. I really like the background on all those motors someone did some homework.
