It is in Millington and the proprietor said he thought it was homemade and they were asking $3500. OBO for it.

I know little about Steam Traction Engines, but it seams that the piston diamiter and stroke seem quite small compared to others that I have seen. The chain drive train and small flywheel seam that way also, BUT IT COULD BE ONE OF A KIND. and could be "PRICLESS"Reallllly interesting peice of equipment. Sure ther will be lots of comments on this one.Thanks for posting. Acg.

It does not appear to have pulley for belt work.

A handsome little devil. I love home made units, this one is as cute as a black angus calf. Jim

I looked at this engine at the auction where this dealer ended up buying it last year in Swartz Creek, MI. It is home made and well built- to a point. The boiler will need major re-engineering to bring it up to something approaching code and getting that marginally designed boiler tested and certified would be a nightmare!
At best it is an expensive piece of yard art to mow around and hang lights on and at worse it is a gaping money-hole to dump your kids inheritance into- just like a "real" engine!
