On year at at OkieQ we went down to the gun museum and their happen to
be some sort of event going on and there were dozens of those old
engines like that there running.

There was a harvest festival today in the hood, and there was this
really old gasoline engine set up driving a stone mill to grind corn for
grits and meal. It was a single cylinder horizontal shaft, with what
looked like an open oil bath or water bath on top (it was steaming),
some kind of reservoir maybe, and a link running from the output shaft
(which was driving a wheel about 3ft diameter), every rev it would
pop-pop-pop (sometimes just pop-pop) when that link opened a valve.
Sounded like an old John Deere, it was painted green. I had the pups
and they definitely did not want to get close to it, so I could not
check out the name that was cast into it. I guess it was a 4 stroke as
it had 2 exposed valves on top of the cyl head. It was pretty cool
though. Definitely not OSHA approved though, stuff spinning and
popping, no muffler!
I bought some grits from the mill, looking forward to a tasty meal! I
bought some fried peanuts too (you eat the whole thing! -- good roughage
I guess).
