[SEL] Rock Island Plow Co.

[Floyd and Bobee Boyett]

I'll answer Ken's question first.  The water hopper has straight sides, not 
angled with the typical flared lip.  And to answer Alan's question I do not 
have pictures on the net at this time.  I have just gotten a new computer 
going and do not have a photo program installed yet.  I will get a picture 
to you all later.  I will tell you that it looks like the average typical 
Rock Island engine although it is red.  I will have to check closely to 
determine if it has every been repainted.

Ken, none of the list I have looked at have a 5 HP RIP engine with this RPM. 
Perhaps that is due to mine being throttle governed where as most RIP 
engines seem to be Hit and Miss.

Thanks for the input.

Floyd

I am Floyd Boyett and new to this list.  I thought I would get a 
conversation started so I can meet some of you on line.  I have had a 5 HP, 
throttle governed engine for many years and have never seen one come up for 
sell or found it in an engine book.  (Tag No. A61856, 420 RPM)  I am sure it 
is not rare, it’s just that I have not seen others at shows or pictures in 
books or mags.  Do you have one or have you seen one?  Looking forward to 
some input.
