I remember looking into these Peanut Riders 10+ years ago... maybe I need to pull the trigger...



 :D  :D  :D


PM has them at $185 and in stock.
Penn Tool Co. $169.95.
I think Mini Steam was $142.

Already done...  :D


Who'd you get it from, PM or Penn?

PM, bought it before I seen your Penn link

Nope...

As far as i know, the only Solar engines offered as a kit while Pm Research has owned the brand, would be the Solar #13 "Thinking Man´s Engine Kit", and the Solar#15 "The Glassworks Unmachined Kit".

As far as the Solar #12 Rider Ericsson goes, both John and Bruce has made some very nice modding efforts to slow these down, to a way more realistic speed:

Two good ideas that seem to work, adding drag to the mechanics or restricting the pump.
Beats dragging your finger on the wheel until it gets hot, my version. ;D

Jim, you used that Peanut Rider to run a Empire pump and then a Jensen work shop.
I might have to get one too if it puts out that kind of power.

Easily ran these Tommy -
