Every feature of these wonderful engines does its part to develop maximum power from least fuel. Imagine this clean-cut, able and reliable worker "on the job" on your farm.
Examine the pictures of the engines, see the graceful, powerful lines, the strength well placed where needed. The "Z" gives you this extra help when you want it-offers you this reserve force to complete your work, perhaps saving you the difference in the cost of a larger engine.Įfficiency features: Consider these: throttling governor, built-in oscillating magneto, speed regulator, removable bushings in bearings, close speed regulation, removable water cooled cylinder heads and more. Think of this when you buy! Your needs may at any time demand more power.
The rating is conservative in actual service, the engine readily develops more. You can grind feed, pump water, shell corn, run your separator, churn, washing machine and many other things about the farm with a Fairbanks-Morse "Z" Engine. successfully use KER0SENEĪlso Distillate, Coal Oil, Tops, Gasoline and other Cheaper Fuels
The Fairbanks-Morse "Z" Engine is the logical engine for you to use because it combines every practical advantage to do your work continuously, conveniently, economically, cleanly and quietly. What you get for this money in work done determines whether or not you are obtaining your power at lowest cost.īuy an engine that will give you all the power you need and more if necessary, one that successfully uses the most economical fuels, requires the least attention, starts quickly and easily at any time, even in cold weather and will do all this faithfully for many years. It includes the money you spend to keep the engine running, for fuel, labor, repairs and upkeep. As a buyer of farm equipment you know that this "cost" does not stop with first cost. Whatever the work pumping, sawing, grinding, or any of the many duties to be performed, you want it done at lowest cost. It thus maintains an accurately proportioned mixture for the charge, as well as a uniform cylinder temperature, giving greatest economy and power and a definite uniform speed regardless of the load, even in cold weather. The throttling governor on the "Z" engines acts directly on a balanced valve, which regulates the amount of fuel and air passing through the inlet valve into the cylinder. Throttling GovernorĪ successful kerosene engine must maintain uniform speed at any load through control of the fuel. These lower grade fuels can only be used economically, however, when the engine is designed and built especially for them, and it was with this principle in view that the "Z" engines were designed. or 6 H.P., to give power at lowest cost, should run on kerosene distillate, coal oil, tops and other cheaper fuels as well as gasoline. Use Cheapest FuelĪn engine of 1-1/2 H.P., 3-1/2 H.P. The effective lubrication, accessibility and reliability are found in every "Z" Engine. The water cooled cylinder and valves eliminate heat strains and keep the valves tight. The finely ground piston and piston rings give exceptional compression. The cylinder and crank case being cast together distributes the weight where needed for strength, giving lightness as well. All parts are precisely made and fitted and standardized for interchangeability. No effort is spared in making these "Z" Engines of the very highest quality in every detail.
