This is a pretty nice old 3hp Fairbanks Morse Z gas engine.  It is a throttle governed engine. It turns over nicely and has decent compression even though it hasn't run for a few years.  There are no cracks, breaks, or repairs that I can see or know of other than a vinyl connecting rod bearing.   It might work with this bearing or they are available rather inexpensively from some of the hobby suppliers.   It has a good gas tank under it.  The engine is an earlier Z model as it has the Sumter Plugoscillator ignition setup on it.  It will need a magneto and a trip finger to run.  Everything is loose and seems to move as it should.  It does have some wear on some of the moving parts but most things do when they're close to 100 years old!   I think this engine was in the process of being restored and never got finished.  It has a reproduction muffler on it and will need the fuel plumbing finished.  It has the original larger brass serial tag on the front of the hopper.  The head doesn't seem to ever have been broken or repaired which is somewhat of a rarity for these engines.   It has an older paint job in the correct green color and although it has some wear and chips here and there still displays pretty nicely.   I can deliver this engine for free to LeSueur, MN, Baraboo, WI, Portland, IN, or Coolspring, PA, next year.  I can also ship it quite reasonably through Fastenal.  It can stay here as long as needed as long as it's paid for and I accept many forms of payment.   I can be reached at 262 573 1931 if you'd like to talk about it.  The pictures tell the story.   It's a pretty nice engine that needs a few evenings of attention and it will be making smoke!   Good Luck.
