Pictures of my Page garden tractor one as found , one after restoration. I don't know what year it is but the model 19 Briggs on it was made in March 1960. I had to replace the differential in it ,as a previous owner decided to use grease instead of 90 weight oil. All but two of the gears had lost teeth and all the brass bearings were shot. It would have cost a few thousand dollars to have them made. I spent three months checking out any possibility of getting some made or finding a stock donor rear end with no luck. I live in Va. and found the tractor in Maine while home visiting my dad and just had to have it. My dad eventually found another worm gear differential with the same gear ratio that could be modified and used. The tractor was parked because of the rear end and so the engine was in good shape. The exhaust valve was stuck open from sitting for 20 years but not damaged. I pulled the whole engine and the rest of the tractor apart and did the usual clean and lap the valves , clean the piston and rings , head , etc , and did the above mentioned rear end job. It had been painted a dark green all over. This was boring to me so I gave it a coat of Oliver green and highlighted it with John Deer yellow. It runs and pulls extremely well . It has a 18.7 : 1 ratio in the rear end alone counting the differential and the gear reduction cases on both sides. The engine fired up on the first pull. It has a belt shive behind the pull rope cone on the front of the engine and one on the clutch hub similar to a fifties simplicity. It has the same 3 speed tranny as a fifties simplicity , including the same casting numbers. It's a blast to play with and plow the garden with. I'm looking forward to taking it to the engine shows and using it to move my 3hp Sattley around with.

Model NP Briggs with a factory mounted Goulds centrifugal pump. According to the numbers it was made in Jan. 1950. It's a runner but needs rings and valve work. I have seen these all the way up to 12 hp . I believe this to be the smallest unit in the line. This and other units were used on farms to irrigate (and irritate) fields using clear water. The brass pump impellers didn't like gravel and rocks. I found some in this pump but fortunately the impeller still had all its blades.

Lawson model RLC298-4 . This was used on an industrial washing machine . I was told by a fellow at Bob's small engine that this model was only made one year and used on small garden equipment as well as washing machines. He didn't tell me what year though. The Zenith carb on it was also made one year and specifically for this engine , so he says , as he tells me he has three to replace it at $60.00 a piece . Didn't buy one as this is the sweetest running little engine you could ask for.

1929 model 92-m Maytag and fountain. I took this and the Page tractor and my Sattley 3hp flywheel engine to the Reidsville NC. show this year and the fountain drew all the attention of the three.
