I am not sure if this topic is in here someplace or not but I was encouraged to post on the subject from 2 other members so here it goes. Hope you guys like it. This is one of my other toy's or hobbies. 1926, 25 horse Witte throttle governed. Weighs about 4500 lbs, runs like a Swiss watch.

Mine are a bit smaller! They are:
1918 Anderson. A New Zealand made and designed engine with a T connections: the rod and piston are reportedly from a T (I have not had mine apart so cannot confirm this):

Lovely brass governor:

And the Anderson designed and made carb too:

I also have a "J" Lister but he is trucked away in a shed. This is the same model (but not my engine):

Doggone. This is good news and a great thread! Yous guys like gas engines! Nice pics!
Still can't get over that Witte hopper-cooled 25.
I have a very few smaller engines and should grab an ancient photo and some modern pics.
Beautiful 2-1/2 Waterloo Boy Les. A good friend has an early 7 that my son sure fell in love with.
We were all at Rollag MANY years ago when son was 12 or so and he got to know that sweetheart of an engine.
He'd set it up, pull on the flywheel and purposely fall down on the grass and the engine would start right back up.
Oh we worked with Larry's 3 horse Gade! Such fun over the years with gas engines!
The 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 LA IH was a great worker too. He "wore-in" the new bearings on the Twin City 17-28 engine.
Belt right on the tractor engine flywheel and boiling away...

That Waterloo is a work of art.

I know that there are other members on the site that have engines by they may not know about this thread in the off topic section.

I'm just amazed at how much iron it took for each horsepower.

Post by **Angmar** » Fri Sep 25, 2020 8:28 am

I finally figured out how to post a video of the big Witte running. Hope this works.

I have always admired those. Our friend Brian has several and a Model T. We included them in our shows when we can. Your Witte reminded me of them.

Nice set up.

It's nice to see the pictures, but thought some might like to hear these:

"Music to the ears"..... The rhythmic sounds can lull you to sleep.

Possibly saw the first, unknown about the others.

A 1939 'Wisconsin' Engine.... Followed with another video of a rescued Fairbanks-Norse. Enjoy!

Marv, you have very good taste in engines.
Fairbanks-Morse rules.

They are another bad habit! LOL!

Habit or disease? I know that I am afflicted for sure...

Nice Stover MJ.
Billy, that Dazzle Patch is a descendant of Dan patch (race horses) ya?
Umm, engines named after racing horses...

Post by **Billy Vrana** » Mon Oct 12, 2020 8:03 am

Yeah, from what I read in C H Wendels big yellow bible, The Dazzle Patch engine was built by Nelson brothers, M W Savage rebadged the after the race horse, i guess a bit of pop culture from the early 1900's,
