Todays flea market finds.

[EVILDR235]

I found a few items worth buying. A Stanley no.700 clamp on wood working vise in good condition for $5.00 and a set of six Klien nut drivers with insulated rubber handles. Also a few Craftsman sockets. We left early and we went to a fellows house and I bought a small single cylinder 2-1/2 hp 1944 Fairbanks Morse / Onan cast iron gas engine. It is complete except for the air cleaner. I will drain out the old gas and fill it with fresh gas, check the oil and see if that puppy will fire up. I first need to get it out of the trunk of my car. It looks like it weighs close to 100 pounds. The seller was a big fellow and loaded it up for me. I just can't lift real heavy stuff anymore. If you go to You Tube and type in 2.5 hp air cooled Fairbanks Morse manufactured by Onan you will see the same type of engine I just bought. Once again I am sorry for no pictures. My picture person lives with her dad now and works full time. I hope to get her over sometime to help me how to post pictures.

 sounds like you had a fun day,  sounds also like myself, after passing the 80 mark, things got heavier. and I also have not learned
 to put on pictures. but, I do feel lucky to be on the computer. I will have to get my wife to try and drum it into my thick head again
 about putting on pictures.

 I am going to try to find your engine. maybe on google ??

There is one like it on the YouTube site. My back is toast. Every job I ever had was picking up something heavy and moving it elsewhere. Warehouse, bakery, scrap metal yard, bakery, wrecking yard.
