Welcome to Steve's
"Big Flywheel Engine Shed"
I am currently making some changes to this page and will bring it more up to date as time allows.
Hello, I'm Steve my wife is Brenda and we were always interested in antiques of one type or another.
Our collecting truely began with the purchase of two Farmall F-12's on our first wedding anniversary.
I can say that the custom has continued for more then twenty-four years now.
Here I"ll share with you photos and info on my  flywheel engines, antique tractors, trucks and other collectables.
For the last year or so, not much has been achieved as far as restoration work goes. This was due to a minor health problem I was facing. Hopefully, that is all behind me now, with work moving ahead again at least on a few projects previously started.
Oilfield - Engines

Wood Count Museum.

There was an "old" repair made to the outer water jacket on the bottom surface just behind the exhaust port. This repair appeared to be OK when the restoration of the engine was done about 10 years ago. The repaired area has opened back up and will be this winters #1 project. Phots soon to come.

To see how these large oil-field engines were used,
check out the working oil display at the
Wood County Museum, in Bowling Green, Ohio.

To go with the times, my "Butt Buggy" is a Hybrid.
It started life as a Taylor-Dunn parts chaser for warehouse use.
It is still driven by the original electric motor, however the
Sattley now does the re-charging of the batteries.
This picture was taken at the "2007 Fall Festival" in Luckey, Ohio.
