Description:

1902 COVERT SINGLE CYLINDER We are selling what we believe to be a 1902 COVERT single cylinder engine only. These were produced in Lockport, NY starting in early 1902 and may have been made as late as 1904, from our research. The motor turns over and has compression. We only have the parts and pieces that are in the photos posted. NO OTHER parts. This appears to be a very straight forward American version of the steadfast DeDion French design. We believe that it was rated at 3 HP and was chain drive. It is an air cooled gas motor. SOLD AS-IS. This would make for a great start for building a London to Brighton automobile. It appears the original engine mounts are still bolted to the engine. This is not something that has been ever left outside, hence it appears to be in remarkably well preserved condition. Might trade for interesting early tin lithograph, early wooden, or early porcelain automobile or motorcycle related advertising sign. NOTE: There appears to be an old repair to the cylinder head. Look carefully at the photos and you will see. We believe this to have been a period repair and that the motor has been used substantially since this repair. The best guess is that it may have been done pre-WW1, but we have no way of knowing. Local pick up only - Lynchburg, Virginia. $500.00 deposit. Balance to be paid via bank wire or CASH. We may be able to deliver this to the Fall AACA National Meet in Hershey, PA for free. Any questions or concerns, message us or call/text (two-one-five) 906 (seven-zero-zero-one). BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS, unless prior mutually acceptable arrangements have been made in advance of the purchase. Estimated cost to build a crate is $75.00. BUY IT NOW $7, 950.00 (final reduction). If you don't like the price - don't buy it!
Note: The actual height of the motor (including the board it is mounted to) is 27 1/2 inches. Actual Weight is almost exactly 175 LBS (I weighed it yesterday).
