Hi again......

Thanks for the responses.  Looks like it is a Stover 5 hp. engine.  I have 
found out that there is a good possibility that this beast still exists and 
if so I will try to get current pictures of it.

Curt, if I can get numbers off of the engine I will get back to you.

Regards,
Larry
