The history of the Colean engine is very unique. I was serving a
congregation in McClusky, North Dakota at the time of the Washburn
Golden Jubilee and they scouted the countryside to find an engine
for their parade. I was quite surprised that they found a Colean
engine way out there because I am of the opinion that there are not
many Colean engines left. I saw one at the Central Illinois
Threshermans Reunion at Pontiac, Illinois in 1954. That was the
only Colean engine I had ever seen there. I wrote a letter to the
Washburn Leader paper last summer and they sent me a snapshot of
the Colean engine in the city park so I know it is still there.
