@decoysk old engine shows and tractor meets. go to your local small engine shop and ask when they are:-) i just bought a 1922 fairbanks morse "z" just a tad smaller than the one in this vid for 300$. they are a tad pricey but neat!

sounds like a song bird in the oil fields just a singing away, I fire my ole 1929 5hp FM Z Style B, just makes ya forget all the garbage going on in the world today knowing it was used when all was well, the next year we were in a depression, kinda like now...Wow!
No, Sadly it is not. This is a late model Z from the US.

@hitnmisskid Sorry for the late reply. I will have to take a measure of it when I am in the yard and get back to you.

Nice, have you decided what you are going to run or do with it yet. I have started collecting line shaft and other belt driven machinary to run. Look at my videos and see how much fun I had starting my M. Phil

I have line shaft equipment and parts... enough in fact to do the full thing, however I don't have the room for assembly. This was my first running engine. I have since found that a very slight wobble in the flywheel causes the vibrations you see here. It is now on the list for my building a cart as well as straightening out the wobble.
I have a 3 hp M half way through restoration. Good to see you got that one going.
