Stover Stationary Engine

[Stillgottimefor1]

Found this at the scrap yard It’s all there but the magneto mount is broken off. I have the magneto. Hoping they didn’t bend the crankshaft horsing it around...yeah sure, I needed another project...but at least this 1937 beastie isn’t going to get melted into another something else.

I would have grabbed it

I’m gonna take out the spark plug tomorrow and fill the cylinder with diesel and transmission fluid mixed because the piston is currently stuck.
