fireman 1,021 #1 Posted January 3, 2013 I have been waiting for this for over a month. Originally the seller didn't want to ship it. I stayed persistent and finally got them to do it. I'll let three guesses go by then I'll show and tell. (No telling Steve!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 1,021 #8 Posted January 3, 2013 It is an engine. As a matter of fact it's a Wisconsin AEN. The exact same engine that is in the Ride-Away Senior. The inside of the fuel tank is clean except for some varnish on the sides. I turned it over and it feels like it has great compression. I bought this because the AEN was only made from 1949 to 1957 and they are far and few between. Parts are also very hard to find. I need the flywheel screen cover for mine. I'm going to put Marvel Mystery Oil in it and crank it over to get it into the oil pump to free it up. I'll let it sit in there for a little while then drain and refill it with fresh oil. Next I'm gonna clean out the fuel tank, lines and carb. Then i'll check the ignition for spark. If that all goes well, hopefully it will fire up. It will be nice, as VinsRJ would say, to have a spare Senior engine "In Stock". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 1,021 #14 Posted January 4, 2013 Brian your more than welcome to take it for a cruise around! Just remind me while we're there. Hopefully I'll have steering box rebuilt with new bearings so it will steer like butter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,968 #16 Posted January 4, 2013 I'd love to have that engine too. I would enjoy just getting it running again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUSS10 250 #17 Posted January 4, 2013 whats the difference between an AEN and an AENL? there is an AENL wisconsion on an old tiller that's been up on craigslist locally for months. I've exchanged a few emails but its a bit of a drive for a motor i really didn't have any use for... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,021 #18 Posted January 4, 2013 The AENL replaced the AEN in 1957. According to this website, it was replaced for more horse power (AEN=8.2 AENL=9.2). Otherwise from that I believe they look the same. http://www.asecc.com/data/wisconsin-models.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 16,967 #20 Posted January 4, 2013 You're a Wheel Horse preper. You never know when it's doomsday for the old engines so it's always nice to have a back up. I guess you could always run the new engine in it and save the original. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be nice, as VinsRJ would say, to have a spare Senior engine "In Stock". That's a neat shipping method, prob standard, but is it grossly expensive to have one shipped and what shipper is good to use, Have often seen what considered good deals but alwyas pick up only. From what I remember Wisc were good engines, 'course everything nearly, was. Hope you got a jewel!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,683 #23 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Wisconsin made great engines...and who ever crated that one did one very nice job. Great score Jeff. I like the crate also. Edited January 4, 2013 by stevasaurus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,021 #24 Posted January 4, 2013 Lets put it this way. The engine cost the same amount as what shipping was! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #25 Posted January 4, 2013 Lets put it this way. The engine cost the same amount as what shipping was! Thats a great looking old Wisconsin! I love restoring old engines, but I find quite often I spend as much on the shipping as I do on the engine! I hope you post a video when you get it fired up. PLEASE!
