Headless Witte Iron Works Hit Miss Engine Beautiful Original Paint WOW
headless
Comments Off
Here is a exceptionally nice and original 2hp headless Witte Iron Works hit miss engine. It still retains the majority of its original 3 color paint scheme. Inside of the crankcase, connecting rod, crank cheeks and crank guard are red. The valve chest, mixer, exh lever, cam gear and detent blade are silver. The rest is dark green with bare metal flywheel rims. I seriously doubt this engine has ever spent a night outdoors. Mechanically this engine is like new. It is tight, no slop or wear anywhere on it. Compression is excellent, flywheels run true. Starts very easy and runs fantastic. The fuel tank looks to be a new reproduction, oiler is not original but is a vintage piece and does not look out of place. This would be an earlier Iron Works engine however the tag is missing. Luckily Witte stamped the s/n on crankshaft and it is 16387 which would make this a 1914 engine. The 1 under the keyway is not part of the s/n but an assembly number. Both gib keys are also stamped with # 1. There are no frost cracks on this engine however it has had some repair. The exh lever has an old braze repair which appears well done and solid. There is also a piece missing from the lower piston skirt. No repair was attempted here, it does not affect how the engine runs at all. There is also what appears to be a copper brace fitted around back end of cylinder. I’m not sure what to make of this, there is original green paint all over the outside of it which would mean this was added at the factory. I did not see any obvious signs of damage around this area. The piston fits very nicely in the bore, there is no clunk or knock from this area. I have not removed the piston or disassembled the engine in any way to investigate further. I’ve put about 20hrs run time on this engine with zero issues. The only thing it could really use is a proper iron works muffler and a better set of skids. Engine weighs about 300lbs uncrated. Here is a video of the engine running. Please note the funky muffler and my battery box are not included in this sale. 2hp Witte Iron Works – YouTube. Video will open in a new window.

Domestic Hit Miss Engine. Beautiful, runs great, Watch the video

This is a 2hp Domestic Mud Pump Outfit. I restored this engine less than a year ago. Everything was disassembled, cleaned, and refinished using professional materials. The head was cracked when I bought the engine so I hired a company who specializes in cast-repairs to make a professional repair. The engine runs great and the diaphragm pump is ready to go with all new gaskets. I rebuilt the mag with new points and springs and the spark is very strong. This is my 3rd Domestic restoration and I’m ready to move on to my next project so it’s up for sale. Located in NE Ohio 44404. Take a look at the video, it was recorded before I had much time to fine tune the mixer and timing. I’ve probably ran the engine 2 hours since the restoration and it never skips a beat. If you have any questions please ask, I have about 50 photos of the engine so let me know if there’s something you’d like to see. The video can be found on youtube by searching: “2hp Domestic Hit Miss Sideshaft Engine with Diaphragm Pump” Thanks and have a great day. The item “Domestic Hit Miss Engine. Beautiful, runs great, Watch the video” is in sale since Friday, February 24, 2017. This item is in the category “Business & Industrial\Light Equipment & Tools\Stationary Engines\Engines”.

Beautiful 2hp Domestic Hit Miss Engine. Sideshaft Magneto Mud Pump and Cart

Freshly restored Domestic 2hp hit miss pump outfit. I restored this engine using all the factory nuts and bolts. Everything was disassembled, cleaned, blasted, and painted. I used only professional quality materials and completely refinished every piece. This is my 3rd Domestic restoration and I’m very happy with the results. The factory paint was in a really ugly state when I picked it up. At first I wanted to keep the patina but it was too far gone. Some engines look nice in their “working clothes” however this one did not. Thankfully, old sticky grease kept all the bare nuts, bolts, cam gear, springs, and sideshaft from rusting. I hit the parts with the wire wheel and they came out great. You can see the repair in some of the photos, and I purposely didn’t grind the weld flush. I don’t want to be accused of mis-representing anything that I sell or show, so I left the weld as it left the shop. The head was heated and cooled in a furnace while the repair was made. There’s nothing to worry about, it will last another 100 years as-is but I want to be perfectly clear that the head was repaired professionally. Anyways, the diaphragm gasket is in great shape and I have all the plumbing if a new owner wants to pump water with it. My favorite part of the hobby is learning about different manufactures and designs so I’m always on the lookout for the next thing to drag home. I’m located in Burghill Ohio 44404. The engine can be picked up here, or Coolsprings engine show, or I can deliver the engine if we agree on compensation. Thanks for looking and have a great day. Youtube Video: This is video was taken only a few minutes after the first-start. Since that video was shot, I’ve changed the spark plug and also tuned the mixer and gov. It runs great, starts easy, and runs slow (as slow as a Domestic can reliably run). The item “Beautiful 2hp Domestic Hit Miss Engine.

This incredible Hit and Miss Engine is exactly the one you have been looking for! The workmanship on this engine is beautiful. So solid, simple and elegant. It appears that everything is there but I have not tried to start her, I will leave that to a person who knows these engines better then I do. The sled base measures 22.75″ long, just shy of 5.75″ wide. The engine width at the widest point is about 8″ with a length of about 15″ or so. From what I can tell the piston is about 1.25 in diameter. The fly wheels are 6 in diameter. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. The item “1/3 Scale HIT AND MISS Model Engine.
