R. A. (Bud) Miesch of 8948 Fenton Street,
Orlando, FL 32819 has sent a number of pictures of his engines
taken by Robert A. Love, Jr. Above is a Fairbanks Morse Z,
1/2 HP powering alternator about 1920. Below,
is an Ottawa log saw, 21/2HP, about 1917,
right, is a John Deere 3 HP E, 1944.
This is my Lil’ Brother engine, a Paul Breisch kit.
I did some things different from the prints as some will notice.
I worked on the engine about 11/2 years and
really enjoyed doing it. I am a retired mechanical inspector 67
years old. I also have a 1 ? horse Fairbanks Morse engine built in
1927 and a two cylinder May tag both of which I have gone through
and made look like new.
The Fairmont is a 6 HP, QHB #31144. It was built November 9,
1925.

On January 11, 1926, it was shipped to Mr. David Steinley,
Carson, ND. Mr. Steinley presumably worked for the Northern Pacific
Railroad. As you probably know it is of 2 cycle design and runs
equally as well in either direction.
