LOT 17 - RARE Advance Rumely Oil Turn 40 Power Unit
Description

This is an outstanding original and very rare power unit! This is the only 40 hp size heavyweight power unit known. All Oil Turn power units are rare, but the heavyweight models are exceptionally rare with all known examples counted on one hand. Purchased from the Spolestra Collection in Washington state, sold at the Pre-30 Auction several years ago. It has been told to us that it originated from the famed Krumwiede collection many years ago. Oil Pull decals are still visible on the radiator and you can catch a glimpse of original paint on the machine. There is no serial number tag but the crankshaft is stamped Sn. 3930. A real survivor, in too good of original condition to restore. Started up after a routine maintenance inspection and thorough lubrication after years of storage. Runs great and will be a focal point of any Rumely collection. Really rare and really nice - two highly desirable traits!
