I'll second that Richard.
Thanks for all of the reference documentation that you freely offer for all of us to learn from and enjoy.

Nice early oiler on that engine...and a very heavy flywheel.

THANKS for the appreciative words They are always good to hear !

Andrew, I was not aware that I was posting the milestone of a 2,500 th post, if I had I guess maybe a multiple or full page post with a lot of Pizzaz to commemorate the occasion, but the more I think about it a Turn of the century single cylinder two cycle "Old Marine Engine" is the essence of what this forum is about !
Thanks again for your special web site.

Richard

Richard,

LaCrosse is just down the river from me, so I like the Benton ad. Also, I need to do some research on the Duluth boat and engine manufacturers, there were a few up there, and I don't have a very good handle on them. Thanks, for posting both ads.

Found an ad from 1903 for Duluth Gas Engine Works. it is amazing how interesting my computer is when it is Zero degrees outside, and over 28 inches of snow.

I was just about to go outside and mow the lawn
and was thinking about being snowed in so I thought I'd check and see if you have any of these in your snow covered barn ?

Thanks for that ad. Have you anything on Winona, MN?

There were 3 companies there at one time or another. This one looks pretty iffy.

You certainly would NOT want to open the priming cup when you're riding the bike.

When riding and open the primer cup
its called " Overdrive" !

Roger, I don't think that steffey made bicycles, they made the engine kit and they were installed on different bikes ?
The bike above looks to have wooden rims ?

Open primer cup reminds me of that old holiday song, chestnuts roasting over and open fire.
and agreed Steffey did not supply the bikes..
I have collected 7 or 8 very early bicycle motors.
I like them as they are small
