'Wisconsin T-Head Mystery' landed in Indiana!

• 

Remember the unidentified T-head posted by Kit Foster? Joe Gross was able to secure the parts for his Maxwell project that earlier was part of an Alice Ramsey diorama! "When I first saw the mystery engine, I was certain it was Maxwell. They incorporated the engine, clutch and transmission into one long aluminum cast pan. I initially saw it as part of a project to do with extra partial chassis in my care. I soon found the engine to be only five hours from my home in Indiana! A bit amazing, since I first knew of it from this website half way around the globe. It was in the care of a pair of hobbyists, Ted and Bob, that wanted to get it to someone that could use it. Well, two days prior to delivery I got an email from Hart's Machine Service that was working on my 1910 engine stating that they were hoping for a better option than pouring and boring the bearings in my 1910 Maxwell model G engine, since it's design would make the project difficult. After an evening delivery of the Wisconsin mystery engine, I was off a day later in the morning to deliver the option to Hart's. With a little investigation we found a K on the case, which we believe makes it a 1909 engine of the same size as mine. Some carefully disassembly lays ahead to audit it's fitness for recommissioning, but hopefully it will work out. Kit Foster can sleep nights now!"
