Hey guys,loooooove your show. Several years ago I"picked"up an old motorcycle engine in N/E Colorado. My friend and I were out scouting for old "Hit&Miss"gas engines etc. I'ts a single cylinder with a 2" belt drive pulley off the crankshaft side. Must be from the teens or twentys. Doesn't have H-D or Indian on the cases. Any ideas as to whom to help to identify this thing? Your show inspired me to dig it out and persue again. Jim
I love the look of those Triumph engines. Nice work. Keep the bolts tight!!!
I can probably I-D the motor if you post pictures,...there was about 300 American Motorcycle companies before WWI,....up until 1907 all Indian Motors were really a THOR motor or should say built by the THOR company to Hedstom's spec's
