Folks seem to be confused about horsepower. Horsepower is simply the rate at which work may be done. More horsepower means more work gets done per hour. And horsepower is calculated by multiplying torque times speed. Torque, in itself, does NOT mean work is done. You can hold 40 ft-lbs of torque on a wrench indefinitely and no work will be done. Only by MOVING the wrench under torque is work done.
If we had an engine that put out constant torque from zero to 5000 rpm, its horsepower curve would be a straight line starting at zero rpm/zero hp and ending at 5000 rpm and whatever its maximum horsepower might be. But internal combustion engines don't behave that way; they typically have curved torque curves and consequently curved horsepower curves. And they may or may not put out maximum horsepower at maximum rpm.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
