Old farm motor

[limblips]

They had it listed as a hit and miss but it turned out to be a throttle governed McCormick Deering LB. They didn't know if it ran so I offered $150 figuring I could part it out if it was shot. Filed the points in the magneto and it fired up. Runs great!

Used to run a McCormick Deering tractor, also used to run small sawmills (seen it on the Waltons).

Damn, you should remember! Back in your day, before my time, these small motors were used to run a myriad of things around the farm, pumps, cream seperators, washing machines, corn shellers, small grinders, milking machines, washing machines, generators, etc. Many farms didn't have electricity or even a tractor so they used these small portable motors. I have seen ice cream makers hooked up to them.
