Some hit and miss

Recommended Posts

mhlmeader

Hi folks, I was ask if i would share some pictures and stuff of my hit and missers.  My Dad gets alot of joy outta helping me spend MY money.   And about 5 years ago i got my first flywheel engines. Later i ended up letting them go, but this summer with alot of overtime, i made a strong comeback!!!  I try to find ones that are complete and in running or pretty close to running condition.  Parts can be impossible to find in some cases or very expensive to replace.  

 

  Anywho, just wanted to share some pics and youtoobs of my childrens spent inheritance money.  If you have any of your own, please feel free to post some pics and stuff of them in this thread, thanks, mike

:text-coolphotos:                   That is the way to pick them up!            Finding and buying parts can be a big problem.                   :handgestures-thumbupright:

I am starting to realize that, I have international lb, which was in my wife's  family so it's more of sentimental project.  it sat neglected for years and parts are missing and the piston stuck.  I recently started chopping away it, by luck I found a carb for it online.  I am going to have way more into it than its worth by the time I get it going, good news is the mag is still hot.

Mike I'm thinking those hit and miss engines look really cool on little stands like you have them but they would look infinitely better mounted on the frame of a Wheelhorse....

Boy, I got a neeet little miniature farm tractor project kind of a thing with no engine that would look really cute with one of those in it.

You should jump in the pickup truck and come over and get it from me.

Can't be more than 2 or 3 days drive from my house to yours.
