The displacer rod was not attached to the crank in the first picture. The video of it running is below.

That little engine has been around for quite a while. How long has it been since beer came in steel cans?
Sure is cute, though.

The guy that owned this stuff was a choremaster dealer here in central Indiana, and was around for years. So, the engine is pretty old, but so was most of the things i bought at this auction
