Since we are doing oldest

[Richard G.]

What is the oldest internal combustion engine that still runs on your farm?
Mine is a 1912 Fairbanks-Morse Eclipse 1 HP water pumping engine.

 

[JWA]

Nice, I have often thought about getting a hit and miss.

 

[Richard G.]

This one was given to me and I had to make several parts for it.

[Richard G.]

It earned that look and I won't ever paint it.

The engines i have are 1.IH 1936 Model LA Gas engine used for running a vacuum pump for milking cows. 2. I have {2} 1/2 hp B&s used to run washing machines. 3. I have a Witte drag saw for cutting fire wood. Due to medical problems I haven't had them running for awhile but I believe they will start and run.

Not farm related but it would be my 1936 Indian four cylinder. Stan

 

[Eagle Beagle]

My 37 Case CC

 

[Steve@Advance]

Fairbanks Morse ZC-3 horse power.

Unknown year, the serial number doesn't match up to the engine, maybe it's a hybrid. Serial number says very old, but it's not. It's governed, not hit miss, the mag is late model.

It has a radiator, and had a clutch pulley. All that points to a pump jack motor, I'm guessing 60's era.

Nice engine

 

[cushman]

That is a magnificent looking Indian,37 chief!The dual carb kit looks impressive.I have never seen a four with that on.
Do you also have a Chief?

 

[37 chief]

I have a 37 Indian Chief, and a 47 Indian Chief. Indian had stock dual carburetors on the 1937 four model. I found a set and added the dual setup to my 1936. The 1936 had a Marvel single carburetor. I could never get it to run right. Stan
