[SEL] 5 H.P. Economy Engine.

[Keith Kinney]

Since I was busy posting pictures I thought I'd post some of our 
latest engine acquisition.

We got this 5 H.P. Economy engine in the fall of 2005.  My sister and 
her family had purchased the engine several years before planning to 
show the engine.  After several years of never having had it out of 
the barn they decided they would rather have a Farmall Cub tractor 
that they could use around their place and also take it to shows.  So 
dad and I started looking around for a Cub.  Finally in October we 
went to an auction and came home with a Cub which we traded to my 
sister for the engine.  The pictures below shows dad cutting some 
slab wood.  The engine runs real well but could use some cosmetic 
work.  The water hopper gasket leaks.  Anybody had the hopper off one of these?
