I got a Ferro 3 HP Special at Calvert this year.
It was missing some carb parts so I modified the Ferro carb top to into an elbow with the oiler mount on top.
Then I machined a piece of brass pipe fitting and longer carb mount stud to move it out away from the engine so a Schebler to be used.
Why???
Schebler carbs and parts are easily available. Ferro carbs and parts aren't
Still looking for a tag. Anyone have an extra Ferro tag of any style?

Very nice work Ernie - does the oiler mean it is pre-1908?
Jamie Hurry, one of the Cajun Guys, has a source for replica name plates - Jamie Hurry <[email protected]> And I would let him borrow one from my Ferro Special
Nice carpeting too - is it kept in your bedroom?

1 Ferro seemed to use oilers or an oil system later than a lot of the others so I have no idea. It does have an SN on the flywheel. I can post it if it will mean anything to anyone.
2 I have a source for tags. Thanks for the offer.

And actually that is a combination of James Compact and Shebler parts with some lath time to make them fit together. If it works as I redesigned it there will be no annoying center gasket. |

Hi Ernie, no not home yet, leave Lancaster tomorrow back to Newark, then fly from Newark to LA on Wednesday, then fly home Thursday.
We have had a great time here on vacation, seen many different places and enjoyed them all.
Especially enjoyed catching up with you at Mystic and seeing a great variety of engines. Mystic was one go the highlights of our vacation.
