Mc Cormick Deering what's it worth?

[Wannabe hit and miss]

What is a Mc Cormick Deering 1 1/2 hp stationary engine that's restored and running worth. Is this a hit and miss? I wanted to put a photo of it here but I don't know how. You probably need more info but I'm very new to this. Thanks[/url]

You see them on e-Bay now and then for about $500 +. Do you know if it an LA or LB. Both are throttle governed. HTH

He wants $500 and have emailed him to ask what model it is. I would really like to get the true hit and miss type of stationary. Thanks

If you want a true hit and miss that is what you need to buy.

Thanks for your input, I just saw a local guy has a JD E hit and miss I want to look at

Is it restored as in complete tear down,
new rings, valves and seats ground, or
just a paint job overhaul? Is it on trucks?
A actual restore, both in and out, on
trucks, maybe 4-500. A paint job
overhaul, not on trucks, worth about 3-
350. But, is not hit and miss, it is a throttle
governed engine. They are neat little
engines and very easy to run and work
on. Would be a great starter engine if you
have never had a stationary engine
before. I have several of those engines
and have a lot of fun with them.

I tried to contact the guy with that engine and he never responded. In the meantime I bought a JD Model E Hit and miss from an old guy by Winnipeg. It's been repainted but never rebuilt and all original. He said his Dad bought it new. It needs a new tank and I should do some seals on it. I hope to do that (at least the tank) shortly. My intent is to put it on a cart and hook it to an ice cream maker. Are there other setups than country freezer makers out there? What are your suggestions. Thanks for your interest.
