I didn't really need any other projects right now. Uncle Jack was out rootin around in yard sales a couple Fridays ago and happened by a barn sale. He called me and asked if I was interested in a 4 cyl. Wisconsin engine. Here's what he picked up for me at a whopping cost of $35.00 plus breakfast on Saturday. I had it running Sunday afternoon. Now I need to get it cleaned up and painted. It's out of a Minnieapolis Moline bailer. Not sure what I'll do with it, but ought to be able to find something fun for it. Thanks, Jack!

I need dimensions for the roller stand for it,and the wheels?

I got the pulley laminate pulled together this past weekend. I'll get the measurements for you. I've got 2 wheels.

You could use the roller as a starter for Ts. Push the rear wheel up and lift on a stand then start the V-4 push the roller against back tyre...

On second thought, maybe it is easier just to crank it

We had the 4-cylinder motor from an old IHC 52-R combine that I sold to a friend. He belted it up to an antique band saw he had in his garage.

I have a couple of the 2 cylinders,stout engines for sure.35 bucks,that is cheap.

when I was in the service i used to work on those engines. The AF used them in light carts and air compressors and other equipment. Pretty reliable old engines........brings back alot of memories.

Bobcats used them too.

They only have two speeds,wide open and stop.

In the days before snowmobiles my dad and I built a crawler vehicle powered by a Wisconson V4. Engine was coupled to a standard transmission via v-belts. Tranny connected to a regular auto rearend with shortened drive shaft. Front and rear wheels were connected with tractor tire treads like a bulldozer. Steering was done with a seperate brake cylinder to each rear wheel operated by a lever. Also built a cab to protect from us the elements. Used it for several years to ice fish on Houghton Lake in northern lower MIchigan. May have a picture some place, will post if I can find it.
