hit and miss
I remember as a kid a fella my great grandfather would take his corn to to get it milled. He had an old hit and miss stationary engine (I believe it was a mccormick deering I don't remember for certain) and connected up to it via another piece of equipment to share the power was a sheller, and a grist mill. He would sell you cornmill, he would charge you to mill it, or he would mill it on the half. You could have the cobs or he would dump them in his hog pen out back.
Anyway I have long wanted to acquire such a setup and I think it's high time I start trying a little harder. Anybody out there have any advice on hit and miss engines? I am starting from scratch here, and just trying to find something to get me into the game. FYI I like OLD tractors too.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
