How about everyone post pictures of Big Twins, preferably 2 cycle.

I will start off with a 15 HP FM, and a 24 HP Gray, and an unknown.

Bill, good topic. That is one oddball unknown.

Keith, what is the make of that one? Do you have a photo of the flywheel end?

Here is a monster Kahlenberg that makes it's home at the Muskoka Pioneer Power Association (Bracebridge, ON). Thought to be 1904-1917?

4 cycle 10 hp long Island twin. This is a neat engine. Has pressure lubrication, overhead valves with crossflow heads and a counter weighted crankshaft. This is the only one they built.

Lou,
In his first post, Speedboy identified it as a "Peerless". I have one that is similar. If my memory is correct, it was made in New York.

Pretty sure I have a flywheel off one of those Peerless. It looks identical and I've never seen anything similar. Would be a smaller one though.

Here are two Atlantic Twins and an Acadia 5 Hp single awaiting more work. I have better images, but this single shot captures the essence of them all.

Scott N on another thread wanted to know about what year is this Fay & Bowen Big Twin That Bill schaller posted.

KtwiOme1


Ktwintak

Ktwtag

Thanks Bill - With Really good photos like this and also one of the tag it really helps in dating engs.

The tag helps with patent date of 1902, that says that this eng design was probably mfgrd a year or two earlier !

The tag also has the Lake Geneva address which was 1904 at earliest !

This 1902 ad was the very oldest photo ad I could find and shows the Auburn, New York address

1902

Saub02

This 1904 photo ad of a standard Gas engine like above ad but a twin, and the company had moved westward two finger lakes to water front location on Lake Geneva!

1904

FBtwin04

The engine above in Bills post shows up in a 1911
ad-- And what a great old Marine Engine it is !!

Richard,
If my memory is correct, my Fay & Bowen is serial no 335 and it was made in Geneva. The Auburn engines had a cast tag. I know of an Auburn engine that has a serial no. in the 500 range. They evidently started over with serial numbers after moving. I consider my engine early in the Geneva production. The exhaust manifolds on the early engines pointed straight back horizontally. My engine was drilled for straight back, than plugged and angled down. I assumed that the factory had machined blocks on hand at the time of the change, and modified then for the change. The Geneva engines are shown with the manifold angling down at 45 degrees. It is also interesting that they serialized the cylinders, not the engines. The engine which Bill has posted pictures, has a tag on both cylinders, and they are consecutive serial numbers.

Seems The Fay & Bowen Kerosene Convertible was made as early as 1908-09, this is an early 1909 article.

Keith

This Fay & Bowen single was for sale a while back,only two serial numbers from the Kerosene engine in above posts and many engines after your early single, looking closely at the exhaust appears they were still redrilling for the angled down exhaust ?

Richard,
It's a little hard to tell. There are holes for the water passage. Bruce Hall now owns the engine and can maybe enlighten us. I am attaching pictures of my engine prior to restoration.

a couple of Straubels from Wisconsin. I just love that oiler. If anyone has an extra flywheel, or a set of carbs for these, I need them.

Thanks for the post, these cool old engines have been of interest for some time, very little in the way of advertising and I've not seen a catalog?
My notes say that Straubel Machine Co. In 1909 moved into their new and modern brick shop in Green Bay and was composed of three brothers all accomplished machinists and marine engine builders for pleasure boats, tugs, fishing boats, etc .
This is only my out loud thinking here -- I have always thought that these engines were Barber Bros of New York in basic design ? The steel plate support underneath, the mounting legs below the crankshaft and yet they all were 3 port engines. Barber Bros being one of the very first American mfgrs to pay for the rights to use the Engish patent??
The very unique waterpump support bracket and intake castings are for sure Straubel characteristics ?

Rare 1909 ad

Richard,

Thank you for the ad. I went to an auction in Baraboo Wisconsin, and they had 5 or so Straubels for sale. I needed the above engines like a hole in the head, but I liked how it looked with the oiler, so I bought the one. and, then I had to buy the second one to get the correct carburetors.

Hi All, I don't know if this Hill Diesel qualifies as a big twin in marine engines or not, but it was used to run the pump on a barge and it was water cooled, with a water cooled manifold. Overall it is 4 1/2' tall and has a 33" flywheel - but it is only 12 HP. I have had this engine for 40 years and have never gotten around to playing with it - maybe one of these days. I apologize for the condition of the tag pictue, I will try to get another in more favorable conditions and post it then.

I know its a diesel but this Kelvin twin 22hp is in a vessel called The Protex which is part of the Sydney heritage fleet.
The boat,not the engine celebrated its first hundred years this weekend in great style by ferrying around passengers as part of Sydney harbour week.
It is without a doubt the biggest 22hp engine i have seen.
