1905 Reid 15hp oilfield stationary engine

This is a 1905 Reid 15 hp engine that my Dad just rebuilt/restored. The cart it sits on, He built himself from pictures. The rear wheels are made from 30" pipe, and the fronts are 16". The frame is some left over I beam and the steering is his own design.
The fuel is propane with a needle valve to regulate flow. The ignition is some old military coil with a sparkplug screwed into an adapter in the head that he made and a micro switch mounted on the base with a trigger mounted to a disc bolted to the crank. The flyball gov. isn't connected yet, but it will be soon to help control rpm.
