I recently acquired and am restoring an old Wisconsin single cylinder engine. From pictures and manuals I have been able to identify it as an AE or AH series; but the ID plate is totally missing. It is a tall cast iron engine (two feet) tall and it weighs well over 100 pounds.
The carb, air cleaner and magneto are on the left side when one is facing the flywheel side. The fuel tank is on the right.
The flywheel is unique. It is heavy cast iron with three 3/4-inch holes through it apparently for removing it from the shaft. The air vanes are welded to a light-weight plate ring that bolts to the flywheel with six 3/8ths bolts. The shaft is set up for crank start.
The carburetor is a Zenith 61 series--all cast iron.
The magneto was missing, but I have a base-mounted magneto with drive ears that looks like it will fit exactly.
I have the AE and AD series manual, but it isn't very helpful in distinguishing engine types. The pictures of both the AE and AH series match the engine very well, except I have not seen this flywheel in any pictures or on any websites.
Can anyone help me decide exactly which engine this is?
