GILSON "60 Speed" 1-3/4hp.
|
This is a Gilson "60 Speed" 1 3/4 horsepower hit and miss gas engine. It was made sometime around 1915. It is on the original cart and comes with an oak tongue that is somewhat like the original to pull it around. The only flaws are that the gas tank and governor weight are not original and the oiler has cracked glass. Otherwise, there are no cracks or welds on the engine. It has excellent compression and runs well and strong. It uses a Lunkenheimer mixer. This is a really nice size engine to move around. The crank guard, along with the name tag is missing and the diameter of the flywheels is 16-1/2 inches. |
