These two little rusty machines look like toy tractors, but they are gas engine power generators from an older time. Rus bought three to fix up. The concept is, fire the single piston and the heavy steel wheel rotates four or five times until the piston fires again. A single gallon of gas lasts a long time with the delayed firing, and a belt hooked up to the wheel provides power to another instrument.
