COMPOUND ENGINE
We lived and worked one winter for the elder Mr. Forman, about 1906. Mr. Forman loved children and always made quite a to-do over sister and me.
All my life I have loved engines and always was playing engine. At the age I have related, I could imitate to perfection a single
cylinder stationary gas engine from starting to crank it, to when it first fired and from there on till I had enough.
Do you have a special place in your heart for the good old days of life on the American farm? Do your ears perk up at the sound of an old Johnny Popper John Deere? Do your eyes widen at the sight of a vintage Stover stationary? Then Farm Collector is for you!
