Hello all. I thought I'd share my most recently acquired project. Its an old International LB 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hp stationary engine. I have been collection old air cooled engines for awhile now, but this is my first of this type engine. Its getting a full restoration. The engine wasn't in to bad a shape when I got it. No compression, but it wasn't stuck, and it was complete. Here are a couple pics of it before disassembly. Matt

Another recent addition to my collection is this Orline Dyna-Mite 300 generator set. Usually the carb top on this late model 13B engine has no primer button, also the fuel tank filler is extended to the top of the frame. David

Anyone seen these, the rear wheels are nothing more than drag wheels the front wheels provide power and braking turns the tractor. http://www.stevenchalmers.com/Gravely/MowIn2001/WC1_LeftFront.shtml

Here ya go Matt

It has rear wheel steering. Here are a couple of vids of the Westchester: Westchester https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuJmK_sTAcs Westchester II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_DvmOUPFCE

I still don't have my new valves, so I can't do any final assembly, but I still did some test fitting. The valve cover has been damaged in the past, so its going to require some bodywork. While I can do bodywork, its probably my least favorite part of any project. I don't mind the engine rebuilding, some fabricating, paint work, etc., but I hate using body filler, and doing all the necessary sanding to get it correct. No pain, no gain, right? Matt Oh, please ignore the ridiculously messy work bench. I think I need to fire the janitor! (Me)

nice work, looks like my workshop roof - I used the same boards, we called it sterling board here. Are those cedar shingles or bituminous felt?

The band need a drummer and the the old volvo tractor? filled in.
