Fairbanks-Morse Home Light Plant
32VDC, 600 Watts
1 1/2 Hp FM Engine With
Closed Loop Radiator Cooling System
The engine is set up to run on propane,
but probably originally ran on natural gas.
100+ years ago, before rural electrification,
many farms had small gas wells for lighting
and something like this, but quite possibly
not enough flow for cooking or heating..
The presence of a gas well on a property
is now a liability for a home buyer, due to
the expense of having it plugged.
This issue happened near us a few years ago.
Note the old style knob and tube wiring,
and various old electrical devices.
The whole building is on wagon wheels
for ease of moving.
Owner uses it to charge his camper batteries.
