Up for your consideration is a recently rescued 3 horse power Witte Engine Works, headless, gasoline hit n' miss engine.  I have known this engine to in an abandoned, and dilapidated, grain silo in NE Pennsylvania for quite a few years now.  On a recent drive through this part of the state I just happened to catch the owner in the process of pulling the old wooded silo down before the wind took it and potentially injured one of his dairy cows.  When I stopped to ask what he was planning to do with the old engine inside, he replied "is that what that is?  I'm just going to bury it with the silo, it looks pretty worthless to me".  Needless to say, I negotiated to buy the engine before this happened and loaded it up and took it that day, in a full suit I might add!         Witte engines are not my particular forte; however, I believe this engine to be complete with the exception of the skid mounted fuel tank and the "screen/muffler" that terminates the exhaust pipe.  The engine is loose and turns over well with no noticeable or obscene flywheel wobble or bearing/piston wear.  There are no obvious cracks, breaks, or old weld repairs and the cylinder bore looks to be in real good shape.  The original, and I believe fairly rare for these engines, magneto is still in place and loose; however, I did not spend any time playing with the unit to test for spark.  I assume the mag will need gone through to reliably start and run the engine again.  The hand starting crank and old champion spark plug are also included.    It probably goes without saying; however, the engine is being sold as-is and is obviously in non-running condition at the current time.  Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have prior to bidding.  More photos can be made available upon request.  NO SHIPPING - NO PAY-PAL.  Local pick-up only (Central Pennsylvania) and please pay in cash or MO at the time of pick-up.  I may also be able to deliver to the Coolsprings Engine Show, or other areas across Pennsylvania, if you are willing to cover/split my fuel costs.
