Very cool, Beagledude.

I'll take some pics of my 1907 Johnson Fuller model L this weekend and post them up.

That reminds me of some of the old water pumps at the county fair. Wish you could add sound to those pics.

Is that for a belt drive?

Where is the Video

Trevor · 02-26-08, 04:25 PM

I ran down to the basement and took a few photos of my Stover. This thing hasn't run for at least 30 years. I know nothing about it, but would love to get it running, one day.

D'Animal · 02-27-08, 07:55 AM

WOW!

That is complete. Do you have the MAG for it? If so it looks like you could get it runing a a matter of hours.

I think it's in the Sam Adam's box beside my shoe. It is missing something important, but I can't remember what. There's a hand-written letter dated December 1977 in the opening. It's a reply from a man in NH that was selling the part. My Dad sent an inquiry to him earlier that year. A few days later, I was born, so my Dad never got back to the guy.

D'Animal · 02-27-08, 08:28 AM

You are missing the carburetor. It may look like a piece of galvanized water pipe with a flap in on end and a flange on the other. It may be only 6 inches long. Look at mine since there will be very similar.

When you time allows, lay out your parts in the Sam Adams can and get a picture of them. I will show them to my friend and see what you need and if he has the part you need.

Trevor · 02-27-08, 09:41 AM

Thanks. I'll try to get around to it this weekend.

I pulled the parts out of the box and took a few photos. Unfortunately, I broke the glass thing.

When I was walking out of the basement, I stepped on a small piece of the glass (barefoot), and now I'm bleeding all over the place.

The Stover-gods are frowning upon me tonight.

D'Animal · 08-06-08, 12:31 AM

WOW!

Your is a lot more cmplete than mine was.

In the top picture:

It looks like the big round canteen looking thing with the screw knob on top of it and the flapover cap is the carburetor.

The "U" shaped piece of metal and the baggie of parts go to the MAG.

The bottom Picture

The coil should be a wooden box similar to a Model "A" coil but I'm pretty sure that round one will work.

The glass thing in the bottom pictuer is your oiler. No biggy. The glass is a lot easier to find than the assembly.

The thing in the upper left is the MAG.

Top right is the muffler

between the muffler and the round coil is the other cover for the MAG.

Looks like you have all the parts.

Those copper looking caps on your crankshaft and connecting rod are the grease pucks. Unscrew just the cover and add grease. Tighten the cover down just a little bit to add tension to the grease. You will also want to spray some lube in the cylinder area where the piston is. It would not hurt to remove the spark plug and spray some lube in there as well. Then try to turn the motor over.
