Our latest addition to the collection is this spectacular 1915 Fuller & Johnson throttle governed, Model K,
5 h.p. stationary engine.
It hasn't run in about 5 years, but will be ready to roar back to life with very little effort. There is a whole sequence that you need to go through in order for it to start up, but right now we can turn the big wheels on the side and hear the whooof of the compression. I really like the huge piston and crankshaft. The bore is 5" and the stroke is 8".
Dave estimates the weight of the engine at about 575lbs. It will run on either kerosene or gasoline.
Eventually, we plan on using the Fuller & Johnson to propel the manure spreader.What a sight that will be!
