>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.
