Here is a nice, desirable Type 1 Massey-Harris 2 hp hit & miss engine. With serial number N328 , it dates to approx early 1917; the number on the tag matches the end of the crank. This engine sat as a display in a local museum. When someone decided they wanted to “borrow” some parts off it, the previous owner removed it. It shows nice but still needs some work. It wasn’t running when I got it. The first fire, it ran like a bag of hammers falling down aluminum stairs; it’s a little better now. It will need rings no doubt. The cast in base gas tank is awesome and fuel flows fine. The crankguard has broken /missing cast on one bolt corner. I will include an aluminum reproduction for you to fit later. The muffler looks good but is shop built. Flywheels run true and it’s in really good shape overall with no breaks or welds that I can see, except mentioned. It is for sale, make an offer if you want it…. Opinions don’t pay the bills. I can keep the engine here for quite a while until you can make arrangements to pick it up. I can probably meet you in Buffalo, NY as well if you can meet there. I don’t currently have a ride for it to Portland unless you know someone but :o. I’m easy to work with, let me know what you’re thinking. The item “Antique Stationary Hit Miss Farm Gas Engine by MASSEY HARRIS, 2 hp Type 1″ is in sale since Tuesday, August 16, 2016.
