Comments:

This engine is a New Way, Model C, Type C, 2-1/2hp, Serial# 1775, and was sold by John Deere. It is estimated to have been maufactured in 1908. The engine is in original condition. The muffler is a reproduction. A New Way oiler is with the engine (not pictured). This oiler did not come with this engine though. The fan is original but there was no sheetmetal. The belt pulley is original and was on the engine at the time of purchase. The John Deere painting is original and was hidden by dirt at the time of purchase. The original crank handle was also with the engine.

This engine is owned by Bill, Karl, Doug, and Dan Burkart. The engine was purchased at a potato farm auction in North Ridgeville, OH in about 1996. The engine resides in Avon, OH at Bill's place. The engine is normally shown at the Lagrange Engine Club Show in Wellington, OH. Cleaning was all that was done to the engine. It starts with only a few cranks and will run all day with no issues. It burns and leaks a little oil but after more than 100 years that could be expected.
