This Mietz & Weiss engine has been on the farm for a few years now. I'm not sure what happened last year, but Stooge #3 decided that he would finish this one up by himself. There was alot of work to do, but he got everything ready in time for the Coolspring 2000 Show. The Serial # is 1914. This turned out to be a great find.
Here are some pictures of the restoration.
Out In The Barn - The engine waiting for repairs.
Moving Day - Finally the Mietz will get some heat!!
The Crank - What was stuck for so long, is now unstuck!!
Getting There - Almost halfway through the restoration process!!
More Progress - Head, crank, flywheels and tank, then it's done.
Success - Didn't think he could do it alone?? Wrong!!
Smoke Rings- Look at all those rings, must be the Olympics or something!!
