This Model W power unit is serial number 1048, making it the 47th unit produced. It was manufactured in 1932 and has the early style cast iron oil filter and early skid base. It is in great condition and shows very little use by the original owner. I bought it at an estate sale and tore it down to make needed repairs. The barrels were not harmed and were honed. The rings were in great condition and were cleaned and restacked. I replaced all valves and lapped the seats. I started it last week and let it run for an hour. The exhaust shows only vapor and it sounds great. Check out others for sale and you wont find one like this. It is missing the horse hair air filter element. I forgot to mention that the barrel has a weld repair to the top. It looks like it may have been a stress crack about 9 long. It runs under the air cleaner from the barrel mounting bolts to the exhaust manifold bolts. It is small in width and does not leak. I will include another barrel with the sale. I felt that the original 1932 casting date was more important that the repair. I have included 2 pictures of the repair.
