Newly Completed Shop Restoration Project

This very early cast iron Farm/Dinner Bell is a #2 COWINGS PATENT NOV 18-1862 SENECA FALLS NY. It is 16 1/4″ in diameter, and features an adjustable bell crank. The bell is in excellent original condition with the yoke and bell crank. The clapper is also cast iron, and is marked #2. The bell has a very nice ring, and resonates like a bronze bell.

There are no cracks or repairs on the bell or associated original parts.

The cradles were professionally blacksmith made. No modern welding methods were used when making the cradles.

This bell weight 78 lbs. with the blacksmith made cradles.

$500.00

2011 Engine Restoration Projects

This De Laval 2 1/2 HP engine with Goulds 4″ Mudsucker Pump on original trucks has been restored for a customer. This project began in September of 2010, and was completed December 1st, 2011. This project included total disassembly and rebuild of the engine, gearbox, and pump. Manufactured around 1929, this pump was used to pump water out of coffer-dams to aid in bridge construction. Parts for the rebuild were sourced from all across the US and Canada (locating the parts played a major role in the length of time for complete restoration).
