here is the 2 cylinder model t engine that my Grandpa made back in the depression.
Did he think that 22 HP was just too much?
(Just kidding!)
Tell us more!
Cheers
schuh
Cutting down the T motor for stationary use, small horses for pumps or washers was done a lot.
Here is another,
And here is the 'how-to' from Modern Mechanics
Bud, Grandpa is long gone, The story I get from dad is that it was my great uncle Ernie's '24 touring. He left water in it over night and cracked the rear 2 cylinders. But, it was a nice running engine. Gramps needed a tiller for the garden, so he cut the engine in half, then cut the car up to match.
Then in the late 40's, my dad and uncle took the engine out and put it in a doodlebug. Mostly model t parts, TT rear, model A trans cobbled in, etc.
Dan,
your article is neat!! mine still uses the magneto and transmission. ie: he cut the pan in half also.
Along with the coil box and valve cover. I had it running last year, but I made the crank snout wrong when I rebuilt it. so now I have to take it apart and fix the crank.

I also have one made into a garden tractor, has a chevy trans, chain driven down to a shortened up BUICK rear-end, Neat
John-
My great-great grandpa's name was John Danuser!!
Brian there are some Danusers in the Mayo Clinic area, we are all connected. I'll have to try and find my Danuser Book to see how?

Here is the do-it-yourself on a little cutdown lawn T tractor...think this would be fun to do.
Nicholas, without the flywheel splashing the oil around, how does it get oil to the front?
Just curious.
Brian
The rods do the splashing just like a B&S
