I received a 1917 4 HP Vaughan New Style drag saw from a neighbor for free because it had been sitting outdoors for almost 60 years being trampled by cows in the mud. The piston was stuck, the wood frame was almost completely rotted away, and the chain drive and other drag saw parts were almost completely rusted through. It looked to be un-salvageable because of its bad shape. Our neighbor was going to scrap it, but because he found out that I collect these things he decided to let me have it.

Since many of our engines have not been run in months, it would be a good idea to look everything over closely before the first start-up of the season.

The 1993 article described how, in around 1880, farmer, carpenter and maple sugar maker Henry Adams of Wilmington, Vt., designed and built wooden tanks to hold maple sap. The design was patented. The tanks were built in a shop attached to the farmhouse with the assistance of Henry’s two sons, Walter and Leslie. In 1900, Walter later assumed ownership of the farm and business.

I found my Woolery engine at a sale about 40 years ago near Buffalo, Minn. It stood on a concrete mounting under one end of a long line shaft in the engine room of a machine shed. The shaft ran through the engine room wall into a machine shop where five or six machines could be belted to it.

I was lucky to be a youngster at the tail end of steam, and am forever imprinted with that experience. I put it down to being enveloped in those clouds of smoke and steam at the railway station, and then the train ride with the coach windows wide open so as to be sure to catch the engine's smoky breath. I remember steam trucks with their chain drives working at the docks and dribbling hot embers along the road. Out in the country, the road crews were still using steam road rollers. Great fun for us kids, when we got to play on one after the workmen had left for the day. Today, finding a steamer takes more effort, but take me within sniffing distance of one and I can home in on it with just as much vigor as locating that first cup of “Joe” in the morning.

In early 2004, a neighbor, Bob, was visiting me and saw some of my engines. He said he had his father’s engine, which I should take. It was an International LLB 3-5 HP. Soon after I picked it up, it was putt-putting just like new.

Having nearly finished the engine, the cart was next on the agenda. A telephone call resulted in a visit to a nearby farm, where timber was salvaged from the roof of an out-building that was being demolished. Once home, the timber was painstakingly de-nailed, then put through a planer to clean it up, reducing it to 2 inches-by-3-1/4 inches.

I arrived home with my first stationary engine to be greeted by my wife’s unhelpful comments about a lump of rusty old metal and questions about my sanity. She found it difficult to visualize the mound on the garage floor could eventually become a restored, gleaming, working engine: It would take me almost a year to complete.

George Martin used to build B-24 bombers and wing sections for the A-20 Havoc. He shoveled tons of coal as a Santa Fe Railroad fireman, worked as a Naval Air Corps electrician, and delivered the mail for 30 years while farming at the same time. However, to this long-retired Northeastern Missouri native son, none of those experiences quite compare to restoring engines or getting creative in the woodshop.

This engine started as a rumor among friends at shows, with several talking of a sideshaft engine near Prairie Home, Mo., and how the family would not sell. We've all heard about these things, and some people get the chance to break the chain of “I won't sell.” Dad and I never got that chance with this engine.

In far northern California is a beautiful area. It is a sparsely populated, rugged, historic gold mining country called Trinity County. This area was once powered by numerous old steam, gas and oil engines. The engines were used to power up gold stamp mills, jaw crushers, water pumps, generators and other machinery at remote mines. It's amazing to see some of this old machinery far back in the wilderness of the Trinity Alps.

Walter E. Dunn Mfg. Co. built the “Dunn Motor” in Ogdensburg, N.Y. The company was best known for its vertical 4-cycle marine engines, which were made in single-cylinder, 2-cylinder, 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder versions. The company was founded in 1900, and was active until about 1922. This engine, a 2-cylinder, 4 HP vertical inboard engine was built about 1916.

This 4 HP Wogaman engine was used on a local farm and was built in approximately 1906. It has a 5-inch bore and 6-inch stroke. The flywheels measure 24-by-2-3/8-inches. It is very unique in that it is made with only one casting, and the cylinder is not a through hole, causing machining problems.
