It sure looked different with its angled cylinder and suction carburetor.Īt this point I had to decide what direction this hobby would lead. I started to look for something different, and that's when I stumbled across the Johnson Iron Horse. A friend said, 'Why don't you get a cast iron one to work on?' Little did I know it, but that old iron bug had me hooked after I finished my first cast iron engine, a model 9 Briggs. About this time I was working on Briggs, as these were the easiest to find. By the third year I started buying any old engine I could find and fixing it. After the first year I had run out of engines of my own, so I fixed a few for friends the second year, but soon even these were in short supply. I started simply enough, overhauling all the small engines in my possession. I had always been somewhat mechanically inclined, so about five years ago I decided to take a night school course in small engines.

I thought it would be great to own one of those engines. After a couple of years I decided it was time to take a look for myself firsthand, and I was amazed at all the activity going on. We could hear the steam whistles off in the distance, and I was told about the steam show in progress.
It never seemed to fail that we picked the Labor Day weekend for our visits when the Steam Era Show was on.
