Nice buy, Doug! I saw that engine after bidding sell for $290 before you got it for the $280 BIN. The first buyer must have backed out.
You know you’ll still be searching for a magnet to complete this one after you rob the magnet for the other!😂😂

I saw this recently on an Ebay buy it now for $280. I've been looking for a Jensen to rob the horseshoe magnet from for quite a while. I was hoping to find one perhaps missing a boiler or other parts that would make it cheaper, but with no luck for the past several years. I was surprised to see this still listed after thirty minutes or so. And so, I saw that as a sign that I had to buy it! It's complete and the heater is good, so I thought I'd try to fire it up to see if it would run. However, it needs a new gasket set before it is going to build up enough pressure to get it to run. I hope to do that sometime over the weekend, and hopefully have a video.
It's a shame to rob the magnet off this plant, but I need it for my stand-alone Jensen Horseshoe Magnet Generator which has a cracked magnet. Although, it does still work just find, I've been looking for a replacement for quite a while, and this replacement is going to be the donor![attachimg=3][attachimg=3]
