Guest Dave Boyer Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I had to look it up, to see what it is. What year is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 They built engines from about 1907-1919. Interesting to know what year this one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Way kool. Can you run it in the stand?...............Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xprefix28truck Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) This one is a 1917. They built this same engine in 1918 also. This engine is from an Auburn. Engines in the 1917 Pilot automobiles are the exact same as this one. I haven't tried to run it. A museum near me is going to have a special display on Teetor Hartley in the near future. I plan on letting them display it there for a bit before I do anything with it. I am rebuilding one of the 4 wheeled inspection cars for them to display also. I am just glad to have found one.

caddyshack Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Beautiful engine/trans. Is that a schebler carb? At first glance I thought the carb was about 1909/10 vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldford Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The carburetor looks like a side draft Rayfield. (just like the one I have for sale...)Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Walling Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Do you think that this day will ever come? Aug. 9, 2211: I found an 1955 orange engine that I think was made by a company called General Motors. After many years of looking I finally have one . I didn't think this day would ever come.

Guest Xprefix28truck Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Carb is a Rayfield M-2. Roger....Do you think that there will ever be a shortage on Chevies???

Guest festanley Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Congratulation Kent. I know you have been looking for an engine for some. I am glad the lead panned out. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hi Kent; now that you have the final version of Teetors engine history, are you going to get an example of the first? Just kidding, any Teetor Hartley is a tremendous find. Please document the museum exhibit. As you know I am eager for any Teetor information. All the best Greg in Canada.

Guest Xprefix28truck Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Thanks everyone..... Good friends are what this hobby is all about. Good friends can give you great leads. I am still on the look out for a "T" head. I have checked a few leads on one of those already. But they didn't pan out. I do know the location of a Light Inspection Car Company single cylinder engine. They are Extremely rare and come with a price tag to match. I'm saving my pennies up for it...LOL. I have located a Teetor powered auto. Keeping my fingers crossed on it. In keeping up with the info we were looking for, as far as the numbers of production goes. This engine is number 910 and of year 1917. The exact twin to this engine (except that it is in a Pilot of year 1917) was serial number 2353. So I am thinking with the little bit of info we know on the Americans, that possibly each car company that purchased engines from Teetors had their own serial number sequence. My theory being that there are Americans built before 1916 with serial numbers above number 910. But that leaves one to wonder where the "letter" designation fits into this theory. Then again who knows???????? Edited September 8, 2011 by Xprefix28truck (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
