Well, this is the latest 'T' project Chris has found!
A single cylinder T engined grind stone!
What next?
Why?
Maybe because the farmer had a need....

The engineering is pure 100% 'Shade Tree' of the highest form :-)

Enjoy:

Are they using a piston as a pillow block?

Very interesting!

Big gear to slow down the axle of that grind stone! A running one cylinder motor would put out too much rpms. Perhaps that flat belt pulley ran some other things other than a grind stone.


Here is another grind stone Model T motor style, but for slower manual operation, no fuel needed.
