Please Note:      I raised the price of this engine because I just purchased a Wizard ingiter and magneto mount for this engine. It is shown in the second photo of this listing. I hope it is correct so please let me know if it is not. I found it here on eBay and will not have it until later this week. I am still looking for a mixer, crankshaft guard and other parts for this engine. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn - phone 406-799-1847 in Bozeman Montana          This relatively late John Deere produced 3 HP Model H Waterloo Boy gasoline engine has a serial number of 228,881. Both of the fragile original brass tags are in very nice original condition. According to the site Waterloo Gasoline Engine Co. Serial Numbers this engine was built in 1922 with production ending in 1923 when John Deere introduced the Model E 1-1/2, 3 and 6 HP gasoline engines.      This engine is stuck and is missing the mixer, igniter, fuel tank, governor cover, connecting rod guard, intake valve spring and cylinder drip oiler. As is often the case, someone a long time ago substituted a spark plug for the original ignition system. This engine is worthy of a restoration so any help in locating these missing parts would be greatly appreciated. The speed control lever still moves but everything else seems to be seized up.       The cylinder head has been frozen and broken and arc welded with nickel rod. The cylinder water jacket and water hopper appear to be fine with no cracks or welds. The very fragile and often broken original rocker arm is fine. The pivot for the rocker arm is broken but both of the pieces are present. One piece is still bolted to the cylinder head while the outer part is attached to the original rocker arm.      I have looked very carefully at both flywheels and am very confident that neither one have any cracks in them anywhere. Someone drilled and tapped a pair of holes in the back of the top of the water hopper to attach a pair of strap iron pieces that may have held a gas tank at one time. These straps also attached to the back of the engine base where the connecting rod cover originally attached. I removed the straps because I am sure they are not original to this engine but they are included if the new owner wants them.       This engine still has traces of it's original John Deere paint intact and appears to never have been repainted. If you collect John Deere tractors or engines, this engine would be a logical addition to your collection. I have owned 3 of the earlier Waterloo Boy engines but this it the only one I have ever owned that was actually built by John Deere after they acquired the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company.        I can place this engine on a pallet and ship it with a commercial trucking company, Youship.com or through Fastenall. Many of my friends in the collectible car, truck and tractor hobbies are very happy with using Fastenall. They normally charge considerably less than commercial trucking companies do. I will be adding more information soon. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn - phone 406-799-1847 in Bozeman Montana
