This is a Fairbanks Morse Z motor, a hit and miss farm motor. This is a low idle. They were the first to offer an electrical plant for your home. They would run on almost anything and were everywhere in the early 1900s. this one has 1.5 hp at 500 rpm.

So you use this to make milk shakes back in the 10s?

@Theguido177 That is funny, There is a store in Kidron Ohio called Lehman's. They sell all kinds of stuff that is for Amish people and anyone else without electricity. Across the street there is an Icecream stand that is powered by one of these motors. Their shakes are pretty good to.

@MrPudding28 Yea I saw a bunch of them on youtube so I re-named this video as a contest as a joke.
