MSBiker 46 #1 Posted March 7 Well after a couple of years of farting around, cleaning, building, rebuilding and gathering parts I finally finished my little JD horse and a half hit miss engine. It was in sad shape when I got it, but it had all it's pieces. Here's some pictures. 10 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RJ Hamner 1,007 #9 Posted March 8 We have been to a lot of shows but have never seen axles like that. Bet you had to really look for them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSBiker 46 #10 Posted March 8 The axles are an old aftermarket kit, probably 20 years old that I bought with the engine. Original owner had big plans but never followed through, so I got a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 7,016 #13 Posted March 13 Oldsmobile made hit and miss engines in the early 20th century. Being from Lansing, Michigan, I'd kind of like to have one - given the right condition and price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
