Gents-
This 8HP eng. has a Holly TH Carb w/patent dates of 1908-1915. The spark advance is made by CUNO Eng. The eng. data plate is missing. Anyone know who made it and when?

The basic engine and water pump look like part of the Ferro Family

I would agree that is is a Ferro, It is very close to my 12 hp motor, Mine is the auto lube model, yours does not have that oiler system. but otherwise looks smaller and similar

Thankyou all for the input. This is my second restoration for the Watermen's Museum of Yorktown, Va. The first was a Nadler 4HP.

I too agree that it is a Ferro - would you like a copy of a catalog to help with the restoration?
