I thought you would enjoy seeing pictures of my hobby with small
engines of years past. My next birthday I will be 85 years old. I
was advised by doctors to get rid of all my larger ‘one
lungers’ because of heart strain in working with them, but I
kept three of them, a 6 HP Economy, 6 HP Fairbanks-Morse and a 5 HP
International. I enjoy so much hearing them run because, as a kid
on our farm and surrounding farms, I worked around so many of
them.
As the pictures show, I display some small engines at our local
gas engine show at Escanaba, Michigan, to entertain, especially the
kids and a great many old timers too.
I make these small engines perform some foolishness with monkeys
and gorillas as victims. But I do have some engines pumping water,
sawing wood, etc.
It’s surprising how many people have never seen engines of
this vintage in action!
