Jensen #55G with SPS mods (SOLD) staying in Indiana
« on: April 29, 2019, 08:42:51 pm »
Selling my Jensen #55G with some modifications by me,
A beautiful "all cast iron" Jensen #55G resting on hardwood plinth 14" x 13" (4 layers of polyurethane ) features a SPS pressure gauge, Teflon porthole window gaskets, I have  tuned the engine, replaced the 3" axle with a 4" axle & installed  (2) 2 tiered pulleys on either side of the generator, it runs/performs very well (the Jensen museum has one identical to this generator), I have not had a finer #55G come through my shop, I can assure you it runs much better than a brand New Jensen #55G. it weighs 11 lbs 12 oz's






this is the 1st engine to have my modification badge


a video of it running


price $595.95 plus $20.00 {shipping in the US} by PayPal "friends & family", cash, or cleared check
just PM me if interested. this will be shipped/packaged exceeding well.
cheers & thanks....SPS, Bruce

Yes Nick, the plan is for me to stop by Rogers house after work tonight & deliver the #55G personally.

Fastest engine procurement ever...exactly 24 hours ago, I sent a message to Bruce saying I wanted his Jensen 55G listed for sale.  It is now sitting beside me and has been for about 3 hours now.  Bruce delivered it personally earlier this evening.  Engine is everything he said it was...made well to start with and further perfected by Bruce's usual attention to detail.

Bruce, thanks for a wonderful transaction and good to see you again.
