Never seen an engine like that before and Lenn's cowboy is just the bees knees

Would have loved to see you kick it over Doug.

Very nice. That kind of movement attracts lots of people at the shows, as everyone expects to see these engines doing something.

I picked up a pair of these old kick start WMB washer engines at the last engine show, and was able to get one running out of the two.  It makes the perfect engine to run out little Cowboy at engine shows!  The engine, I believe, is from the late 1930's or 40's, and the cowboy on his horse was a gift from Len "Pitchy" several years ago, and has been a constant source of entertainment for young and old alike.  We run it continuously at the engine shows.
