Challenge 4hp 'Hourglass' hopper. Batavia, Ill.

Purchased June 2002

These are the first pictures I saw of this engine

The day it arrived 23 June 2002

The Challenge running in my yard with new timbers on the cart

Some detail of the engine

This is what was left of the pulley after removal from the engine. It had a crack in the face but when removal was attempted a number of other cracks and breaks appeared.

The Challenge and I at Temora. October 2002 (the battery box broke apart on the journey to the rally).

February 2004. The first time I have run the engine since the Temora Rally. I finally got around to installing a new battery box and re-wiring the engine. It started first pull.
