Fairmont M19 flattop with OD-B engine

For Sale

FOR SALE AS IS WHERE IS

Fairmont M19 flattop with OD-B engine. Completely disassembled, sandblasted and powder coated, and… that’s as far as I got. Parts that weren’t powder coated have been cleaned.  I also purchased new brake shoes, had new bearings installed in the axle boxes and the shaft bearing box. It’s almost all there, except carb, coil, fuel tank, belt, forcing cones and all the wood. There may be other parts missing, but I thought it was all there when I acquired in all its rusted glory years ago in a dreamy state. I also have a manual, a couple of new metal plates for the deck, and some new heavy gauge aluminum for the footwells and the deck. The wheels appear to still be within limits. There may be other new parts.  

Call: Dennis (916) 217-5928

No delivery. Pick up in Salem, Oregon. Bring a trailer or truck. Best offer over $1,000.00

Speeder for Sale

For Sale

1970 Rail Rod 2 made by Rails Company in Maplewood NJ.  Purchased by the Coal Power Plant in Kansas City in 1970.   Used to inspect rail siding until about 1992.  It then sat in the power plant unused until about 2012 when a local individual acquired it. He never restored it and I bought it from him in pieces in 2022.   I rebuilt most of it over this past winter.  All is original except I updated the seats with steel pans, and added some BNSF decals.  I have the original seats as well.  This is an all aluminum frame that came primed with Green Zinc Chromate Primer.   When I wet sanded, I did not remove the Green Zinc primer.  This is what they use on aircraft.  Front hubs have grease fittings, rear are pressed in bearings.  Inspected and cleaned the torque converter assembly and jack shaft components.  Installed a newer belt and replaced both drive chains.  Motor serial number is showing 1987 for the model year, so it appears the motor has been replaced.  This is the identical motor type Briggs and Stratton 3.5 H.P. that came on these units.  I did find a gas tank and replaced it with the same vintage as the old one had some rust.  Motor was cleaned up, particularly the magneto area and new plug.  Compression is very good and runs great.  New throttle cable/housing, new brake cable/housing and brake drum band.  I would replace the drum brake with a disc and this design could be better.  However, at this point I wanted to leave it all original.  Original throttle twist and hand brake lever with locking brake are all in great shape.  Original serial number and manufacturing plates are still attached.  Center Black spike pivots down so car can be easily rotated directions on the track.  

Located in Omaha, Nebraska. $3850/Offer
