Hit and Miss Engines
Just wondering, with all of the great knowledge on this site, is there someone who has or plays with hit and miss engines. I just found
a Fuller and Johnson Farm Pump motor, 1915 vintage. I think I'm going to get it running. Looking for a couple of parts.

I have one............
It's a 6 hp. Nelson Bro's. There are a number of sites on the net where you can gain more info and access parts. Once you get the bug you have it for life. They are fun to play with and rebuild.

I've got an old John Deere 'E'. Had it in a parade in 2014
The signs are:
The New and the Old
2013 Can Am Spyder
1931 John Deere Hit & Miss gas engine
1950s Ingersoll Rand Compressor
Pull the chain, Hear the sound
Mill Whistle, Old McCall Sawmill
The new and the old is the near new Spyder and the old stuff I was pulling with it. The engine was bought by my father back about 1931 and was used to pump water from the well on the farm where I grew up. The whistle was one of the several mill whistles at the sawmill in McCall, Id. The mill was closed down in 1979. Kids get a blast (pun intended) out of pulling the chain and blowing the whistle. This was one fun use of my Spyder! Oh, and the trailer is only 2 years old. I made it and pulled it with my 'Wing for two years. It has oak stake sides which I took off for the parade use.
Here's the original thread. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...ghlight=parade

They used to be quite plentiful in the orchards here in Utah as the farmers used them for irrigation pumps,then abandoned them as irrigation improved.My friend Tony Roebuck and I used to look for them as he was good at restoring them. He always called them "Z" motors.
