@hheywire - Yep, that was the intent. However, this engine met with an unfortunate accident several months ago when I dropped it on a concrete floor, bending the crankshaft pretty severely. So, I'm making a new crankshaft with the crank throws 180 degrees apart. It will no longer sound like a John Deere, but I have another engine I built which not only sounds like a John Deere, but looks like a John Deere!
@cffellows can i please buy one of your engines? i love having something to just run on my desk. and i saw the one that looks like a john deere, very nice!
it sounds like a four stroke! like my old 41 john deere b

@hheywire - Sorry, don't have any engines for sale right now. Also, these engines do require an air compressor for them to run...

@tomsanzf Well, it has pistons that move back and forth but that's where the similarity ends.
