this is my first scratch built engine I purchased the flywheels from Paul Breisch, that is used on his Olds Model. I made them look like the M.
I used 1/8 cold rolled steel and hand form and weld them in the shape of the M. It is all steel no body filler was used

Rodue, that M is a very nice looking and running engine. What kind of welding process did you use?

All I had at that time was and ark welder, it worked well because you could lay down a heavy bead. It did take a lot of grinding.

Great model I have been wanting to build one myself as I have the full size engine.
Did you have any plans for your build?
Thanks cam

I do not have any drawings. I used the full size engine and I did not tear it all down for the dimension's, I used a hand held calculator and set it at the scale of 40% and scaled the engine.
"GEM" was doing an article on International and a guy took a picture of the model beside a 6 Hp and sent it in to GEM.

I don't know whether they are still in business, but Wismer used to sell castings for a 1/2 size IHC M type, also the truck or skid.
