    I know, I know but that would be cheating if I told, since I have seen this item myself.

    Looks like a single-cyl. gasoline engine -- one that would fire only a few times per minute as the heavy flywheels absorbed the energy. Is it a "Waterloo Boy" engine?

    Correct! It is a one cylinder gasoline engine. The engines that fired occasionally are called hit-and-miss.

    They were used to run a variety of implements from the turn of the century, using a flat belt.

    This engine is a Woodpecker and came off a self propelled lawnmower.

    Good Job Rev!

    Correct! It is a one cylinder gasoline engine. The engines that fired occasionally are called hit-and-miss.

    They were used to run a variety of implements from Apple Cider Presses to Wheat Grinders (i couldn't think of anything that started with a 'Z' off hand)

    This engine is a Woodpecker and came off a self propelled lawnmower.

    Good Job Rev!
    Are you looking to restore this one? I remember as a kid watching these things run in displays at the State Fair. Wonderful engines.

    Its my dad's. Yeah, he is restoring it. Along with a dozen others he has picked up over the years.

    These are really fun - there isn't a key, or a start button. You start the engine by turning the flywheels. The engine fires and runs - almost literally in the palm of your hand!
