1925 Keck & Gonnerman Traction Engine
 

1925 Keck & Gonnerman Traction Engine for sale.
Complete history known. Spent its working life threshing and woodsawing before 'retiring' in 1950. First restoration was in the late 60's and since then has been regularly shown. Having burnt wood the fire box, boiler and tubes appear to be in excellent condition.
Our boiler testers thickness meter suggests that the bottom of the front tube plate may benefit from a little building up, but this is a good US engine with good plate thickness. The cast wheels are hardly worn since it only travelled annually between two farms on dirt roads.
Agricultural T.E. in size, Wt 8.5T (dry).

Call me for pictures, answer questions or to view the engine.
Thanks, Stephen 01722 718231

Any photos for us all to see Stephen, sounds different!

Well the link works when I type it, sorry about the French, its Orange!!!

Just an update.
Tube plate OK. Just a little (2mm) building up desired around the bottom of the 'ash pan' (wet bottom) door on the outside and 2mm building up down just infront of the lap in the box. Lots of nice stays, email me for internal pictures as the boiler and box are so beautiful. Outside it would benefit from some paint.

Still for sale - as advertised in VS.
