Hi Al Silver would match my speedo and clock. Mike

The oil pressure gauge wanted should be similar to the shown here so it can be attached to a wood dash. I want a brass rimmed gauge and the range should be 0-10 LBS. Im not interested in a much higher range gauge like this one. Thank you Mike 585 738 1541

I need a brass era oil pressure gauge that the range is 0-10 lbs. I want it to be similar to the example shown here . It will need to attached to a wood fire wall like this example. The 0-10 lbs range is desired as my motor has a normal operating pressure of 5-7 lbs. Thank you, Mike 5857381541

It was given to all Trek registered participants as a gift.

A friend in Calf shared some pics tonight with me of his Wisconsin motors and what he has for mag drives... Low and behold here are two examples (different but both are locked to the same splined drum I have) that he has on his motors. Im on the right track now to make copies. Thank you to all who responded. Mike

I think since Terry went through the efforts to find this drawing , I should get the parts made per the print. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and comments.

Hello Mike,
I figured out your magneto coupling. It was a design developed and patented by Arthur J. Milbrath that was granted in 1916. Milbrath was the founding partner of Wisconsin Motor Manufacturing Co. There would have been a two split collar with grooves that match your surviving cog type gear. This in turn was bolted to a drive disk keyed, pinned or interference fitted (drawing is not clear) to the magneto. How many years Wisconsin used this design is not known but I can tell you its the first time I have ever come across it.
It would be awesome to find an original or fabricate a replica. Certainly an interesting and unique coupling!
Attached is the PDF file of the Patent.
Best regards,
Terry
Terry, That's neat you found this. Now with this development , I need to figure out what to do or how to copy. I am going to post some pics soon of my project.Im making good progress now that Im in the shop everyday. Thanks again. Mike

Mike, I take it the Mag isn't original to the engine. Here is a photo of the mag coupling on a model "M" Wisconsin of the same era as your engine. My later (1926) Wisconsin doesn't have the "spider" type rig that your mag has. Its uses an AT-6 mag with a fiber disk.
Terry, The mag wasn't with the motor when I got it . Im going to use the idea Joe and Chocolate town spoke of . Im working on the project every day now that Im good enough to go to the shop.Its great to hear from you!

There were in those days a flexible coupling that had similar hub on both the shafts and a piece of hose between them. Clamps held the hose tight to the hub. It had the necessary universal joint feature and allowed for easy change of timing. The OD of your piece is probably a common tubing/hose size.
Layden, Chocolate Town, Thank you much for your views on this matter. I was going to remove this piece, but after these two new emails I am leaving it alone and adapt to it. I had a preconceived notion that I was missing a piece that had all those splines internally but after reading yours and Chocolate Towns response's , I admit Im most likely wrong. I ham going to fashion a sleeve or rubber that will go over this hub and get the motor running. Thank you!! Mike
Here is a shot of my Wisconsin T head 6. Bore 5.185 x 5.5 inches

This drum shaped magneto drive must of had a another sleeve that could clamp tightly over this piece. The straight flat spline was used to adjust the timing. Im missing the piece that clamps over this drum and connects the mag . Does anone recognize this type drive? The OD of the drum measures 1.250 inches. I hate to remove this drum and use a modern coupling. Thank you Mike West 585 738 1541 (PS The motor is a 1911 Wisconsin Model L, T head 6.)

Bering a roadster its a rare bugger..... I think if the seller would part with it for 7500 it would be a good deal. 10K is a bit heavy .(In my opinion)
