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.

Great Running 12hp Headless Witte Hit & Miss Gas Engine On Trucks! (with Video)
great
Comments Off
This engine was found in northern Michigan many years ago by the man I bought it from. It is mounted on a heavy set of trucks with a nice tongue. This engine is in almost new condition mechanically, the compression is incredible, with zero blow by. The engine is very easy to start even with the super compression by using the intake valve, I can show the next owner how easy this engine is to start. Both flywheels run perfectly true and have no issues. The ignition is by battery and buzz coil (and spark plug), which is a very reliable system. Has a nice working oiler. Another great thing about this engine, is that there are NO cracks, breaks or welds. It is also a rare version in the fact that it has the kerosene burning attachment, which is currently the needle valve that is being used to run the engine. The gas tank is not original but certainly serves the purpose fine. The muffler is also not a Witte muffler, it’s an Economy muffler and looks and works just as good. Has the original nameplate. Pulley is small, but I guess is better than having no pulley at all. With the condition this engine is in, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s putting out more horse power than the 12 that it’s rated. This engine is ready to hit the shows or put in a full days work. Please watch the video below and see for yourself. Very strong firing, nice coasting engine with zero bad clunks or noises. This is not a small engine! If you have been looking for a big, early hit and miss to take to the shows this would certainly fit that bill. Coil included , all you will need is a 12 volt battery and some gas and oil! Please feel free to ask any questions. We are located 100 miles north of Detroit, and 35 miles east of Saginaw. The item “GREAT RUNNING 12HP HEADLESS WITTE HIT & MISS GAS ENGINE ON TRUCKS! (WITH VIDEO)” is in sale since Monday, December 05, 2016.
