[SEL] BIG Iron

[Judge Tommy Turner]

I just got this home this afternoon.  This engine is a 50 HP Hagan and 
has 2 - 25 HP cylinders placed side by side.  I ran this engine 11 years 
ago at Portland and it ran well.  It uses the fuel though, going through 
5 gallons in probably 30 minutes.  Couldn't run it long at a show ($$$$, 
you'd go broke fast!).   Its about 72" to the top of the flywheels.  I 
have a neighbor that has a big roll back.  I couldn't have gotten it 
home without it.  This engine was found in Florida in the early 80's by 
the McWhorter brothers and it had been in an orange grove.  They got it 
going and then one of the brothers died (sadly, I can't remember which 
one it was).  The engines were sold and this one came to Indiana with 
Kenny Wolf purchasing it.  I ran it for Kenny at Portland in '94 when 
Kentucky built engines were featured.  Kenny traded it to Terry Tanner 
who lives in Union, Kentucky.  Last fall Terry contacted me and asked if 
I had interest in it.  We worked up a trade and I finally got it home.  
Terry had a real nice sub base fabricated for it and I'm going to place 
it under the engine and find a permanent place to set it.  Click on the 
small photos and they'll enlarge.
