There was a terrific turnout in the stationary engine area this year. It included some new faces too. Here's George Greenhough of Peace River. He brought various small engines but his first love seems to be antique wind generators. He tells me that the bright yellow one is a 1946 Windcharger Streamliner and the tall one is a 1937 Parris Dunn.

Glenn Sitler starts his Fairbanks Morse model 'C', left. Glenn also brought a set of three stationary John Deere engines - 6hp, 3hp and 1 1/2hp - mounted on trailers and pulled by a John Deere LA tractor.

The "Peter Pan" - about 1/2 hp - was manufactured by Globe Engine Works and Sold in Canada by McLeods. It was only produced in 1917 and 1918.
The sign in the lower right corner goes on to say: 'This engine was rescued from the scrapyard. Restoration of carburetor and many other parts by Tony Leschinski of Calgary, Alberta. History of engine is unknown. They were used on sewing machines, butter churns etc. Other restoration by Glenn Sitler.'

Andrew Scott shows his restored engines, right. He does the work himself, from welding and brazing to the final paint job. In the picture below the Briggs and Stratton FH drives a pump jack he made of scrap metal and the crank shaft from a rototiller. Beautiful work!

Irv Gottschlich (above right) discusses his 5 hp New Holland engine with Klaus Munzenmayer. The engine's serial number indicates it was made in 1911 or 1912. Irv's Badger side shaft engine, right, was manufactured between 1910 and 1915 by the Christensen Engineering Co. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both engines are quite rare. Irv's signs, below, provide more information about these engines.

Vic Kushner struggled with this temperamental Massey Harris engine, but got it running in the end. Vic is a bit camera shy so you'll have to settle for a shot of his Massey in motion.
