This 8hp Ohio gas engine was made around 1906 & originally used near a dock at the old fish hatchery at Deer Park near Sandusky, Ohio to pump water for the hatchery. The engine was restored & painted red in the late 1970s/early 1980s & has been bored & sleeved. It has a great cylinder which can be seen by the way it bounces back & forth against compression towards the end of the video below. The engine looks oily & greasy in the pictures because it has been sitting for years oiled & protected in a nice concrete floor building. There is no weld on the engine but there was a small tin patch on the bottom of the engine at one time. This was taken off when it was restored years ago. The backside flywheel has 1/8 wobble when looking at its outer diameter but the flywheel on the working side of the engine looks fine. Other than that the engine looks good & is in good shape mechanically. This engine has the original little belt pulley on the working side of the engines crankshaft that is rarely seen. This was an option by the Ohio Motor Company & a small air or water circulating pump was originally belted off of it. This engine can be viewed at the address below. Ed & Nick Rowland.
