Hit and miss engine part

I have been seeing this in the creek for quite a while but it's been half buried in the mud. A c coupe good storms caused it to wash down the creek a ways and uncovered. I believe it's a flywheel and crankshaft. Pretty cool find, too bad it's bent. What do y'all think

I think that is fantastic. I would use it for yard ornament.

Cool find. I have a friend who restores old steam farm equipment. Its amazing how heavy some of the old farming or milling equipment was. I see by the photo that this ran some sort of belt equipment.

Thank you yes it's pretty heavy. I had to roll it up hill about 200 yards back home to where it's sitting now. Was thinking of cleaning it up and selling it. I could only find a couple online for sale. If I can't sell it I will use it as yard ornament myself.

Neat! Sure would love to have that in the front yard.

Hi that is a nice old find. I would put something like that in my front yard as a garden ornament

Awesome find! I love the old engines!

What I really think, is that it must have been pretty intense getting that thing home ! I am with the others. I'd use it as a lawn ornament somehow.

it rates very high in the cool factor. would also look very cool in front or inside some restaurants like a BBQ place. that thing was a hard working machine in its day.
