"I like Mogul the best, because it's the top of the line," Johnny said. "I like all of them from 1918 back."
He's looking for the bigger Famous engines now.
"I have up to and including the 8 hp," he said. "Now I want the 10 and 12. International made so many, it's impossible to have them all, but I have most of the little ones."
"I saw this engine at a show, and about 15 guys were gathered around the truck, looking at it," he said. "I saw the owner off to the side, so while all those guys were talking about it, I asked him what he'd take for it, and I got it for $200. I liked to rip my pants pocket off getting my wallet out. It turned out to be a $2,500 engine!"
He's sold on the line.
"International engines just run real nice, and they're real crowd pleasers," he said. "And they're valuable, real desirable, which is important. This is part of my retirement plan, but I get to play with it now."
