| That looks really nice, I have had one for a few years, but it doesn’t look that good. I’m also several years shy of 55. |

Had a couple over the years, first one came from my grandpa's barn and is all original, runs good. Second one is an early long base/side exhaust that I got at auction and restored, sold it a while back. I could never get these things to run very long   ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

You did a great job restoring that. I found one in s barn I tore down for a neighbor, may someday get around to working on it. I remember our neighbor had one back in Ohio, saw it running on their back porch, I was 4 or 5, thought it was much cooler then my mothers electric one in the utility room, told her she should get a new one like Mrs. Damon had, she said she would keep the one she had, thank you! |

Model 31 ? Or 92 short base?.
Bill...Your 92 long base/angle exhaust is harder to find.

| RLBPA1, that's a very good looking engine. I'm in the process of restoring mine right now. I may be 33 years shy of 55, but I can tell you it's a post-1931 engine... or the mixer is at least from a later model engine, as noted by the casting squared off for the air cleaner setscrew above the air inlet hole. |

| Good eyes Creston. The serial number on the flywheel indicates it's a 1931 model 92 short base engine. The carburetor is a rebuilt one I bought on line. |

I got one with twin cylinders that are opposed. It runs like a top. Looks decent, is flat black. |
