This is my display trailer with 32 Briggs & Stratton Engines. The engines being displayed are continually changing as I get rarer or more unusual engines. Almost every model of Briggs & Stratton engines built before WWII is represented.
I rescued this little Bolens Husky-600 from the scrap yard several years ago, just to have something to drive in tractor parades. Several of my friends refer to my wife on the sulky as an "Attachment".
This unusual generator set uses an early Briggs & Stratton Model FH engine to drive an Aladdin Generator. The generator is a twin rotor AC unit putting out 6 VAC from each rotor. The patent data for the generator states that it was designed for automotive lighting purposes. The specific use for this particular setup is unclear.
This is a very rare Model S Briggs & Stratton engine. Only 2225 of these engines were built between 1930 and 1933. The identifying characteristic is the use of the FH (early overhead valve engine) carburetion system on a flathead engine.
The Ideal Jr. air cooled engine built by Bluffton Mfg. Co., Bluffton, Ohio, carried a rating of 1 HP using a 3 inch bore and stroke. This particular engine was built as a stand alone stationary engine, but many of these engines were used on the Ideal Power Lawn Mower between 1910 and 1930.
