Pipe wrenches, dies, vise and cutter should be on hand if the 

 buildings and barns are piped for water. 



The gasoline engine is of the horizontal, hopper-cooled type, 

 as this is usually the cheapest and most convenient in the four- 

 horse-power size. 



The engine is fastened to the floor by means of a two-by-four- 

 inch crosspiece at each end, held by a five-eights-inch lag-screw 



Fig. 226. — Perspective drawing showing tlie equipment 



long enough to extend about three and a half inches into the con- 

 crete. The engine was set as shown, partly to get cylinder-head, 

 valves and carburetor next to the wall, Avhere there is plenty of 

 light for adjustments, and partly to have the main drive belt so 

 that the upper side is the slack or loose side and thus secure a 

 better grip on each pulley. 



The post-drill faces away from the main shaft, so that belt 

 coming from behind will be out of the way of the operator, and 

 has clear space enough that holes may be bored in a binder 

 cutter-bar or other long piece. It is fastened firmly to a six-by- 

 six-inch wooden beam set into the concrete at the bottom and 

 bolted to a floor joist at the top, and is equipped Avith both hand 

 crank and belt drive with fast and loose pulley.
