Bud Tierney Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Rutenber produced a 4Cyl 43/4x5, possibly/probably their "U" engine, from 1908-??? (believe it was gone from a 1916 ad or announcement listing engines available in 1916 or so)...it's the conventional inline 4, cyls cast separately...Shown in ads as a 40-45 HP engine, a small piece somewhere said it would develop 50HP...I believe it's the engine in the 1908 or so Glide "G" Special--43/4x5, 45HP.We're trying to determine if it's the same engine as used in the Avery Farm and City Tractor/Truck built 1910-1914 or so; an Avery brochure describes a 4cyl 43/4x5 45HP engine, and it's reportedly a Rutenber.I have a fair?? list of Rutenber engined cars/trucks, but I have next to no data that far back to tell which other vehicles had the (or, a) 43/4x5 4cyl...There is a reportedly original Avery truck in the iowa1080 museum we can compare pix/numbers/letters/whatever with...Any comments appreciated!!!....
