I never did get into old engines, I enjoy them, I spend a lot of time at the tractor-engine show's watching and listening to them.Im a member of the Rusty Wheels Tractor & Stationary engine club. Guess I've been a member for about 15 years.
I have 6 old tractors, not a drop in the bucket compared to Kevin-KBeitz
BTW, pretty cool how folks rig the stationaries to run things, like one that runs a old cast iron water well pump.
