This is a picture of my 1907 Olds/ Seager stationary engine. It is 1 1/2HP. It has all original factory paint ,coil, wiring, and wood battery box. All that and it runs! Engines like this were used for running machines in areas that did not have electricity to run electric motors. They would typicly run washing machines, water pumps,saws for cutting firewood, grinders for corn and other grains, and anything else that you would use an electric motor for today.
