I believe that you have a slightly modified Maxwell Hemmens (Precision Steam Models) horizontal mill engine.
Excellent runner, thanks for sharing the video.

I agree Mike.

Wayne, that's a very nice engine. As far as make or model, I have no idea but I wouldn't mind having one.
The Jensen boiler didn't seem to have a problem running it. A valve would be nice to slow it down.
Try running a belt to the governor.

  Does anyone have a good guess as to the maker of this engine?
I think it must have come from a kit, machined-or-not.
I added a video of it running from a Jensen 30 and some still pix.
