hit wrong button ha ha here it is

[Ed Malcom]

You are right i aprove. That is a neat rig. It never ceases to amaze me the things that show up with le roi engines on them. If i had a better picture of the engine it would be easy to idenify the model Ed

2c is the model engine & pump turn freely, I'm not sure how to read the oil level indicator it has a rod with a white ball on top

[Ed Malcom]

It is a 1923 or later as they had a different float system for checking the oil level in 1922. Look on the opposite side in the area where water goes back into the block and you should find numbers that is the casting date. Ed the le roi man

6-14-29 engine date..the ball indicater appears to be a presure gauge

I am putting a 1920 toro tractor back together with a 2c. Can one of you guys tell me what the original mag would have been so i can start looking? Thanks joe

[Ed Malcom]

Two answers here. To be original find a dixie mag. I have 2 1922s a 1923 and a 24 and they all have dixies and they will most probably have to be recharged. Second the oil level indicator is realy high tech with a cork float that floats on the oil and if the white ball is up you have oil. On the 22 there is a float that goes into the pan and there is a guage that works like one on gas tanks reading from E to F. Ed the le roi man

3 LeRoi's I have gotten have Eiseman mags the last one has no impulse? Do the Dixie mgs have an impllse and what model are they? thanks

[Ed Malcom]

I dont know what model but they originally had impulse. They had a lot of pot metal in the impulse area and that is usually broken up or gone completely. Sometimes the impulse can be made to work after the pot metal is removed. Le roi manuals i have also call for eismans but after all these years anything goes. Ed the le roi man

I just salvaged a D176-3 Le Roi, s/n 217807, from a gleaner model F parts combine that has been sitting in a kans pasture for the last ~45 yrs. The date cast into the side of the engine block is 6-30-46. All is there except the starter.

What starter can be used on this engine? Also, where can I get gaskets for this engine. I will need at minimum a head gasket. I turned the engine with the crank until a piston ran into a stuck valve.

Many thanks for any help you can give me.
