t least half of our country has to deal with snow during the winter months. In some areas it gets quite deep, and wind-blown snow causes huge drifts. For

centuries, travel was restricted during the winter. Horse-drawn sleighs and sleds were used almost exclusively until spring came. Railroad changes everything

It wasn’t until the advent of the railroad that long-distance travel was possible in ordinary conditions. When deep snow arrived, even rail movement came to a stop. Unbeknownst to most, the rail tycoons – whose influence on economic activities in early years had

become the 900-pound gorilla in our country – were convinced they could continue their activities in spite of the snow problem. In the late 1800s, many attempts were made to keep rail lines open during the winter. The idea was that locomotives, which were extremely heavy and powerful, could plow snow off the tracks as they moved forward.

mish country is about the only place

The earliest recorded windmill was a vertical sail structure in ancient (A.D. 100-400) Persia that was used to turn stones to grind grain. The Muslim advance into Spain in the 8th century, and the Crusades a couple of centuries later, carried the idea to Europe, while the 13th century raids begun by Genghis Khan helped spread Persian windmills to the Far East. European winds weren’t as strong as those of the Middle Eastern deserts and the vertical sails didn’t work well, so it occurred to some unknown person to turn the thing on its side and raise it higher off the ground. Everyone is familiar with the large windmills with cloth sails that appear in illustrations of the Netherlands, although they were common all across Europe for grinding grain and pumping water.

Flywheel Forum Fairbanks Z, INGECO memories, Temple inverted and unknown single 51/2/1: Fairbanks-Morse Model Z This 1923 Fairbanks-Morse Model Z open crank 3 hp engine was on my grandmother’s farm for many years. It sat down on the creek and was used to pump water from the creek up to the cows. In 1989, I brought it to my place in Wichita and started restoring it. It was by this time just a pile of rust. For a long time I would go out every day and spray it with WD-40 and would start turning the bolts a quarter turn until eventually they came out. I took it apart piece by piece and laid them out on the table.

I finally got it restored on April 25, 1990. It is all original including the glass oilers. I also restored the little Maytag engine seen in the pictures, then had a friend build the wagons to mount them on. They were on the parade and on display at the Haysville, Kansas, Fall Festival for many years. Jerry Kimzey Wichita, Kansas

hen Chris Kabele of Jackson, Minnesota, had an auction in 2004, the now-82-year-old sold off his excess engines. Three hundred of them. Why? “I didn’t have room to keep them in good condition,” he says. “I sold everything I didn’t want, and some I did.” By this time, he had taken a larger interest in the big engines anyway. “The big ones are more impressive to people. They like to hear the engines air-start, and run.” Chris still has 13 engines, all easily described as large. “I restored them at home,” he says, “adding new bearings and grinding

the valves on all of them, and when our Butterfield group found out I had them, they asked if I would bring three of them here to the grounds. They decided to build a building so other people could bring their engines, but nobody else did, so they asked if I had any more, so I brought my others.” Those “others” now fill the building on the grounds of the Butterfield (Minnesota) Threshing Bee.

Collecting engines Chris, who was raised in the country, began collecting gas engines in 1970 through his

junk business. “That’s how I got interested. People would bring engines in that didn’t work, and then they started to bring in those that worked, and I decided to save them. Then I started saving the engines that didn’t work, too.” Most of the engines were used in the oil fields, and many of the details about the engines have been lost to time, Chris says, such as when he got each of the engines, yet this basic information about Chris’ 13 big engines remains.

Lonnie, your engine is a 1918 Model E. The Model E was introduced in 1914 and built through 1921, with an estimated 225,000 built, making it the highest production model of any engine built by Hercules. It should be painted green with red pinstriping, although apparently some left the factory with yellow/gold pinstriping. The Hercules engine website (www.herculesengine.com) shows DuPont 1317 or 7666 as close colors and also says that Rust-O-leum Hunter Green is a good match. The photo at right shows a 1-1/2 hp, but it's a good indication of how it should look. – GEM

later hopper-cooled vertical and horizontal singles. The company was formed in 1892, and engine production is believed to have started in 1899 (a surviving photograph dated to 1899 shows a horizontal 6 hp Ideal powering a line shaft in a bakery) with a line of tank-cooled horizontal singles fueled by manufactured gas or gasoline, with the gasoline engines employing a unique fuel injection system. By all appearances GSM pros-

pered, expanding its line of engines and introducing tractors about 1907, at first using its own 2-cylinder opposed engines and later using bought-in 4-cylinder inline Waukesha engines. Hard times hit the company in the 1930s, however, and GSM closed its doors about 1934, a victim of the Great Depression. Interestingly, while several sources suggest a relatively large production of engines, survivors – especially of the early tank-cooled models – are few, and April/May 2016 19

ight of Paul Sams’ gasoline engines look very similar, though they carry five different names. Patent theft? Not hardly. “Their castings were all built by the Waterloo Gas Engine Co.,” Paul says, “and sold under contract to other places to resell.” Paul’s collection reflects only a portion of the Waterloo contract engines. His list shows 43 different companies that Waterloo supplied engines to. “Some were marketed under the Waterloo Boy name by the company, distributor, clearinghouse or big warehouse for Waterloo Boy, while others

branded these same engines with different names.” A little history Paul has liked old iron for many years, but began collecting in the early 1980s. “I started with tractors, mostly Allis-Chalmers back when you could find them in a grove and get them pretty cheap to fix up for your collection or to resell.” He brought tractors to shows, where they sat for several days. “At the end of the show I loaded them up and took them home. There wasn’t a lot of

tractor activity at most shows. I got interested in gas engines because the collectors at the shows stayed with the engines, and did fun activities with them. That appealed to me more not doing a lot with a tractor. Also, you can put more gas engines in one area than you can tractors. So I moved over into gas engines, and have enjoyed working with them, and I enjoy the gas engine people a lot.” Sixty-seven-year-old Paul, from Marshalltown, Iowa, says his first engine was a 1-1/2 to 2-1/5 hp International Harvester LB. “It was something that wasn’t very expensive, and got me started in the engines.” Under contract After a few years of collecting gas engines, including a couple
