Up for sale is a Fairbanks Morse ZD, Type Z Style D, Hit&Miss ZD Throttle Governed Engine, Please read discription and Look at all Pictures as they are a part of the discription. 1944 Fairbanks Morse ZD Type Z Style D Engine is mounted on wood skids and on a Two Man Solid Oak Handtruck, the two wheel cart in pics. is not included, S.N. 860134 is cast into a raised pedistal behind the water hopper, I believe that puts it at around 1944. Last run in October, appprox. 1/2 Hr. run time on new quart oil change, Has no CBWs , just one minor flaw I will mention later. Has Mag Type FM-J1A2, which starts the engine, it also has the No.#498607 on the lower edge of the mag. When I purchased this engine it had great compression, but no spark, I cleaned the mag, filed & reset the points, now good spark, great comp., then soaked the carb & check valve in cleaner and polished the carb throats, also removed the head and cleaned carbon deposits from the end of the piston, the valves and valve seats, and the head surface, sprayed the cyclinder with fogging oil and reinstalled the head, again, great comp. It was rusty & had only approx. 1/3 of the original paint left, we gave it a light blasting, checked for cracks, found none, then gave it 3 coats of primer and 4 coats of quality Hunter Green Paint, the rusty Exhaust Baffle in pics. is basically what the rest of the Engine looked like, the baffle plate has since been glass blasted and painted with Black 1200 degree high temp paint, looks good against the green. In pics. You can see the original paper thin fuel tank was rusted beyond repair, We fabricated a new tank out of 1/16" steel, to the exact dimensions as the original, putting a new drain bung and plug in the same position, using the original mounting straps & the original fuel fill/ check valve fitting, primed and painted it to match the engine, it was also coated with Red Coat Tank Sealant so it will never rust again and has not had fuel in it, before it was finished We put the check valve in a can of gas to start the engine.Others I have seen have a finger loop on the Throttle/Governer control lever, as seen in pics. this one doesnt, dont know if this model came like this or if it had snapped off and someone filed it square, it still works how its supposed to, sure it could be replaced or a loop riveted on if someone wanted to take the time.One Sold a few weeks ago, $300.00 or Best Offer, it had no tag, crank start handle or fuel tank, this has all three, the tag is rusty, I Purchased a Brass Tag online, just didnt have time to install it, if You want I will throw in that Tag and the original rusted fuel tank, You can change the tag! On the Flywheel it has the usual rope start pulley which is 3 1/2" dia. and 3" long, on the cam side is a double V-Belt Pulley which is 4" dia. and 1 3/4" wide, the oak hand truck is made from 3 3/4" by 1 3/4" stock and is 15 3/4" wide and 38" long. Est. Weight 150-200 pounds, Runs good, comes with extra brass tag, original tank and crank start handle.Will prefer cash if picked up within a month, will store up to 6 months with at least one half deposit put down, there are two Fastenall in My area, for $25.00 I can mount and crate to a pallet and drop it off as long as You arrange and pay for Shipping Costs, or for $25.00 I can deliver to the Portland, Ind. Swap Meet in May, again, I would need at least one half deposit put down, theres four options, I hope it helps! I have some expense and alot of Man hours in this engine, any reasonable offer will be accepted, being sold as is, Thank You for Looking and Have a Great Day! Any Questions, Please Ask! NOTE: I forgot to add, the Mag Cover where the spark plug wire is, the upper left screw, the mounting tab is cracked kitty-corner, with the screw in place it locks in and does not affect the Engines running, could be replaced , but again, does not affect the engine! Thank You!
