12 hp Galloway

I am the second owner of a 12 hp Galloway engine (on the original cart). Early 1900's model. Serial #34034. I've got it freed up and it is complete (including a rebuilt mag) except for a fuel tank. Have not ran it. Was going to finish restoring her but am now contemplating selling. Does anyone have a guess at what she might be worth or where I'd advertise her?
 
Gene, there are going to be many fellows that will be interested in your Galloway. (including myself) Where are you located? A proper gas tank will run @ $100 for a tank that looks like the original. Condition will be a big factor in value. There is no factory records anymore pertaining to years built going off of serial numbers. From what has been compiled by other collectors, your engine falls into the 1916-early17 timeframe for manufacture. Is the crank guard there on your engine? Is there a belt pulley on it? I helped as a consultant with a fellow as he was working on his family's 12hp Galloway unit. He inherited it from his grandfathers estate. They are a fantastic unit. What type of shape are the bearings in? Cam gear wear? Governor slop from running? Many little things can add up to on a mechanical restoration. I'm going to try to post a photo of the one I helped with the restoration on. As for value, not seeing anything and not knowing the condition, I would put a value of anywhere from $1000 up to 5000. Lot of variables come into play on establishing value.

Your pictures show exactly what I have. There is no cast guard over the crank. The clutch/pulley is there. I bought a rebuilt mag a few years ago for $450. I'm located north of Waukon, Iowa. I wish the value was lots higher. I'd be more inclined to selling her. I might go back to my original plan of getting her back to original condition (mostly a paint job) and putting her in a local steam engine/old iron museum. I need to get a drip oiler for the cylinder, too. I truly appreciate your replying and wish you lived nearby. I'm newly retired and have the time to work on her. I haven't figured out how to post pictures of her or I'd send you some. I've got pics from her in the sagebrush in Wyoming, where she was retired for an F-12, all the way to my shed here in Iowa.
 
I'm closer than you think. I am just SW of New Hampton. This one that is all fixed up would be in the 10,000 on the really high end on a good day. But the time and effort to get to that point is a bugger if you can't do most of it yourself. In the scheme of things, I'm not that far away if you do need help with some things. There is a crank guard on the restored one. It is a cast iron one that mounts on the back and sticks about a foot up in the air. The Antique Power show that I am most involved with is the one just West of Charles City on Hwy 14. I might have to make a trip up to your place to see what this beast looks like in person. I might have to go up to SE MN to get a 3hp JD to work on for a nice old gal and get it back to her when done. My contact info is on the web page for the Cedar Valley Engine Club in the club info area. These are some of my fleet of engines.

Where are you located? I missed this post. I have a 12 Horse Power in the barn. It is a saw rig and a Kerosene burner! Send me an e-mail. Thanks. J.
 
Is it restored? Do you have pics? I'd love to see it. I'm attaching a photo of where I found my Galloway many years ago. I'm going to restore mine this summer. Just finished building and installing a tongue yesterday. Now I can pull her around to work on her.

The beautifully restored 12hp Galloway pictured at the head of this forum sits in the tractor museum in Waterloo, Iowa. It was done by Colburn Dittmer. The "rough pic" is of mine where I stored it in Wyoming (not far from where it was used to power a small threshing machine when it was purchased new in the very early 1900's) for several years. Today, it sits in my shop in Iowa. Mine should look so good some day!....I hope.
