This is an old, mostly original Associated Chore Boy hit and miss engine. It is in relatively barn fresh cosmetic condition but it appears someone has started working on the restoration. The head has been painted but the rest of the engine appears original. It looks to have a sleeve in the cylinder. It turns over as it should and the valves seem to have been redone. It has a decent amount of original paint on it and it still has some old grease and dried oil on it so there should be more original paint to be found! It has the large magneto on it and also the original fuel saver which are usually missing. The exhaust port on the head has some damage but I think there’s enough meat there to tap it further and it should be usable. The push rod clamp is cracked and should be replaced or repaired. One head stud is broken off a bit but may still be usable. There are no other cracks, breaks, or repairs that I can see or know of. The bearings all have many shims left in them and the gearing looks to be in very good condition. It is missing the original serial tag on the back of the crankcase but I believe these are available as reproductions. This engine should be a pretty straightforward project. The pictures tell the story. I can deliver this for free to Baraboo, WI, Portland, IN, or Coolspring, PA, engine shows or swap meets later this year.
