Wisconsin VF4 Engine

My Wisconsin VF4 Engine that I rebuilt. Used to be on a Massey Harris Baler.
Rated at 25hp at 2400rpm.

[@greystripe3]

these were on B&N Mobil directo sirens but only one gasoline powered mobil directo exists now

[@Mrbushbtalls837]

Actually, 4 exists in the world actually

[@joshuaryanferguson3702]

just the v-twin models were on them

[@amyjojinkerson6745]

I have never forgotten the sound of one

[@Theutmostgeek]

Love the sounds this thing makes. Very unique

[@MsJinkerson]

when I worked on a carnival we had 1 on the Octopus and Ferris wheel no mufflers

[@ScarOne314]

B&N Mobil Directo used to have this engine.

Nice job , like the paint 😉👍👍🇺🇸

[@billmorse]

Love these engines. Just bought this same one to tinker with, stuck valves and all. Just wish it had electric start...Next time.

[@Acoustic_Theory]

I always wondered how effective those flying-saucer mufflers could be, but apparently they work fine for reducing the upper harmonics. Not a really low-toned muffler but just there to cut the hard edges off the pulsations.

[@tanksoldier9770]

Somebody needs to rig up one in a pickup ( please. )

[@chevybrat]

Nice job on the rebuild

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Sweet engine!

[@WTrevW]

@mitchrenee It came with it. Not to hard to switch over from crank start to electric if needed.

[@WTrevW]

@MrBbgrump My assumption is originally a Massey Harris Baler, but when I purchased it is was running a rig for drilling water wells.

[@JamesCouch777]

We had one on a baler. Hand crank.

[@fegolem]

I have a antique Case 140 square bailer that is powered by a VE4. I also have a GE Welder with a VF4 in it. Near impossible to start with a only a hand crank. I would love to put an electric start on them. Especially the welder. I see no mounting plate or hole for a starter. I'll need to take a few things apart to see if it even has a ring gear. Probably not. I'm curious if we've been suffering needlessly all these decades with hand-cranking them.

[@WTrevW]

@m0neyb1n Thanks. Parts came from ebay and I had some spare parts lying around from other engines.

[@WTrevW]

@Chevytough23 Oh, they sound nice. Got a nice hum, almost like a V8 engine.

[@VicsYard]

Nice job!

[@WTrevW]

@EngineManic I used Krylon spray paint and thought it turned out looking quite sharp. Can't remember the name of the colour though.

[@juanasanelli6831]

Cuando era joven queria un V4 para hacer una motocicleta ... Y hoy busco uno para un autoelevador

[@fredmackenzie2794]

Sweet!

[@WTrevW]

@mushroomman123456789 They were made from ~1940-1976. This one is from 1953.

[@EngineManic]

WOW that looks great and runs really good what colour did u paint it

[@maggs131]

Umm its red 🤨

[@maggs131]

@Kole Moore it's not blue

[@m0neyb1n]

Great Work. Where did you get the parts?

[@cryophile]

Do you think you could use one of these to power a motorcycle?

[@DannysCam]

i just got 2 of these they are awsome where do you find parts?

[@spaceghost8995]

You don't. lol

[@1dollarten]

Sounds like an odd fire engine.. 2 con rods on one crank pin

[@mikes47jeep]

i need one for my john deere 116w bailer

[@mitchrenee]

Did you put the electric starter on it? Of did it come with that.?

[@dianaewoldt100]

Do ve4 & vf4 and Ch 4 all have same firing order?

[@mountain177]
