This would be a fun engine to show and work. I saw someone who makes homemade ice cream machine makers using these old John Deere Hit n' Miss motor engines to drive them and sells the units with the engines for $7,500 with a 1 1/2 HP rig or over $8,000 for a 3HP rig. They can also drive a corn grinder and sheller, mill, mixer, water fall and pump, belt pully, pulley, saw mill rig, grist mill, etc. And the unique hit n' miss sound of one always attracts a big crowd.
Note: we are also in the next 2 weeks getting ready to list several other hit n miss engines here from a collection including these and we have at least one picture for now of each:
(if needed rebuilt magneto $335, new cast iron 3 HP belt pulley 6" $85, smaller original tin pulley $65.)

Background: A hit-and-miss engine is a type of four-stroke internal combustion engine that was conceived in the late 1800s and was produced by various companies from the 1890s through approximately the 1930s. The name comes from the method of speed control that is implemented on these engines (as opposed to the "throttle governed" method of speed control). The sound made when the engine is running is a distinctive "POP whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh POP" as the engine fires and then coasts until the speed decreases and needs to fire again to maintain its average speed. Hit-and-miss engines were made by a multitude of engine manufacturers during their peak usage which was from approximately 1910 through the early 1930s when they began to be replaced by more modern designs. Some of the largest engine manufacturers were Hercules, International Harvester (McCormick Deering), John Deere and Fairbanks Morse.
