One of the engines that we did not get rid of is a 5 Horsepower Falk engine that I acquired when I was in high school. The piston was stuck from being out in the weather, and I learned a lot tearing it down and rebuilding it. It hasn't run in over forty years, having been neglected since I left home for college, but it has always been stored inside. It is back on my list of projects that must be tended to, along with our 9 Horsepower Sears and the player piano. There are a couple videos on YouTube that show the neat action of the machinery on the sideshaft.
