This link will take you to my model building efforts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shocking Pictures
OK, I'm not sure it this was testing a magneto for spark, or just goofing off with the camera. At any rate there is no doubt when an old Briggs magneto is working properly. As the short video above shows, that will make lightning. This mag is on a 1953 Briggs 5S engine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Johnson Iron Horse (Acquired 01/04/2006) click picture for the rebuild page
This engine was given to me by Kevin, who bought one of my old lathes. It looks to be complete, and has good compression. With just a quick cleaning of the points, it has enough of a spark to feel. Thanks Again Kevin! The feedback I've received says this engine was build in 1936 or 1937. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clinton A301
This old Clinton has been here for awhile. It runs fine and doesn't need a thing. It may end up on eBay soon. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jaeger 2HP Hit-N-Miss (Acquired 12/23/2006)

A friend dropped this engine off for me. It has been under water and will take a lot of cleaning up. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Power Products ???
I believe this engine was made by Power Products in the late 40's to early 50's. All I know about it for sure is that it is a 2 cycle and it's seized up. Hopefully I can gather more information on it once it arrives. I should have it here in about a week. Parting Out ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1949 Briggs Model WI (Finished 07/14/2006) Click picture for restoration pics
I've had this engine for some time, and had almost forgotten about it. Time to give it a little restoration attention.

This engine is a Briggs Model 6S made in February of 1951. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More Reel Mowers (acquired 06/17/2006)
I just happened to click onto a local ISP Classified Ads page the other day. First ad under Farm Equipment was for these three reel mower. $30 for all three. Couldn't pass that up! The one on the left is a 1949 Rocket Eclipse. I have it running and it cuts. The middle one is a Moto Mower with a Clinton engine. I have it running running, but the frame casting is broken on one side so it won't cut until I repair that. The have no idea what the one on the right is. All I know for sure is that the engine was manufactured January of 1950. The 5S recoil start engine is seized up. It may be awhile until I get to it because I have the 1935 Briggs Model Y in pieces on the restoration table right now.
Click the film icon above for short videos of the running mowers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1935 Briggs Model Y (finished 06/24/2006) Click Picture for progress Pics
This will be my next project. It's a 1935 Model Y. It won't turn over completely. Most likely a stuck valve. Other than that it looks pretty much complete. It is missing the starter clutch cover. Traded
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1951 Eclipse Rocket Reel Mower (Finished 05/29/2006) click picture photos and videos
I won this 1951 Rocket Reel Mower on an E-Bay auction. The engine is a lever start Briggs Model 5S that was manufactured May of 1951 if the serial number stated is correct. I already have a recoil start and rope start 5S in my collection. This lever start model will finish up the 5S collection. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1957 Briggs 6BH (Finished 05/21/2006) Click Picture Below restoration photos and video
The first engine I ever restored was a 1956 Briggs 6BH. I sold it on e-Bay and regretted it later. I just found this one to replace it in my collection. This one was manufactured in January of 1957. I don't know why it has strapping around the fuel tank, but we'll be doing away with that. For Sale $100.00 + shipping ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1943 Briggs N (finished 05/08/2006) Click Engine Picture for progress pics
I received this engine on 04/24/06. It is a Briggs Model N. According to the serial number it was manufactured in May of 1946. For Sale $120.00 + shipping ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1956 Briggs 6BH (finished 09/15/2005)
This is the one that started it all. It is a 1956 Briggs & Stratton model 6B-H An aluminum block engine that was used mostly on rotary mowers. It was my first restoration, and the only engine I've ever sold. I sold it on an eBay auction, and shipped it to the winning bidder in another country. I regret it, and have been looking for another one ever since. I truly doubt I'll ever sell another one. SOLD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1954 Briggs 6B-HS (finished 11/21/2005)
click film for video
The next engine I did was this 1954 Briggs & Stratton Model 6B-HS One of the earliest mass produced aluminum block engine. I recently found the picture above of a 6B-HS on a mower listed on e-Bay. My guess at the color looks to be pretty close. The bottom picture shows it as I found it in a local scrap yard. I picked it up for the aluminum scrap value of $5.00 A real treasure from the junk heap.

1955 Briggs 5S This 1955 Rope Start 5S was another eBay find. All I need now is a Lever Start Model to complete the 5S series. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1940 Briggs WMB (finished 02/06/2006)
Click Picture below For Detailed restoration
This is a 1940 Briggs Model WMB washing machine engine It is missing some parts, has a couple broken fins on the flywheel and the carburetor is cracked. This one will definitely be a challenge! Many of the parts form a 5S are interchangeable. I'm thinking the 1954 5S that I have restored is about to become a donor. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another 1940 Briggs WMB (finished 04/07/2006) click film for videos
I had an opportunity to pick up another 1940 WBM and just couldn't let it pass. Here are the finished pictures, and a short videos of it being started and running. Since it's hard for my wife to understand why I need one, this second one will be for sale or trade. SOLD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clinton 3100-3105 (still in the works
Click Picture below For restoration pics
This is an old Clinton engine I just picked up. I'm still searching for information on it. I know it needs a condenser.

Here's a Craftsman mower with a Briggs model IR-6 engine. The flywheel casting numbers show it was manufactured January 1942. I'm not sure if I will restore the whole mower, or just the engine.

Vespa Piaggio Moped (updated 04/23/2006)
This is an old Vespa Piaggio moped. How old? I haven't a clue. All I know about it for sure at this point is, it's rough! Missing a few parts, and the 49cc 2-Stroke engine is locked up. I'll start with the engine and go from there. Click engine picture for restoration progress
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Up to this point in time all of my work has been in the restoration of the old engines listed below. I'm thinking of trying something new. Like building something to carry an old engine around. This little platform has raised my interest. What do you think? Should I try it?
