What's goin' on?!

Hey guys, what's new? Haven't been on here lately. I wanted to say congrats to Dave for getting married and for being the new IT dude of the 3A page. Also as Bill informed me, I'm glad to hear about the donations that were raised to save this site!  Smiley

I don't remember if I shared my latest project, but here it is. A 1905 IHC 6HP Famous.

Calvin, here's a very recent video of the Famous. The one showing it running was around 200 RPM. My goal is to see how slow I can make the engine, but still have it be reliable at the shows. This video is of it running at 60 RPM or so. It starts right up and will run all day long. Lasts 2.5 days on a tank of gas.

Is that an International Harvester Muffler I see on there?  Pretty cool machine.

Yep, went to tractor supply to get the biggest one they had (this thing really needed it!) and it turned out to be for an IHC. At least it is the manufacturer is correct!

Hey garage gnome,
  Look what I saw today.  As I said earlier, I love your Hit and Miss engines.  I was raised near an oil field here in southern Utah that has used these big Hit and Miss engines to power jack pumps for as long and I can remember.  They actually run on the "Drip Gas" or "Sweet Gas" that is drained off the well head once they have been started on propane.
